Lenovo G70-80 80FF 17.3″ Notebook - Core i7 5500U 2.4 GHz - 8 GB RAM - 1 TB HDD - Black

Probably better deals on Amazon?

Lenovos have some good stuff. I'm sold on Dell though but have a Lenovo tablet/computer which my daughter took from me.

I have a Lenovo tower, for my PC desktop. Still running XP on it too.
As long as my ISP isn't overloaded, I have a great signal.

JD check these out.

I am still a relative rookie on these damn picture talking machines. Only advantage I have going is I can type which speeds things up a bit.
Next time my bro RTO stops in I have to pick his knowledge on a lot of questions about the computer. So many choices out their and I have no frigging idea what all the gigabits and other crap is.
Hell I just go by price if it costs more it has to be better. Sales people love me.

I returned my new HP laptop to Best Buy, i5, 6gb, 1tb

I got one at staples. They just got in all the new models. Its a Dell i5, 8gb, and a solid state hard drive. Its supposed to be real fast with the solid state HD.

It is real fast so far. It was $150 off special. $600 dollar PC for $449

Stables is way better than bestbuy. Sales guys are very knowledgeable and they are techs and staples has their own computer tech repair

I hope you like this one JD. It has been quite a trial for you.

I recently bought two Dell desktops, 1 Ter.HD, 8 Gig Ram, i5 processor computers, I'm happy with them even if they have Windows 10.

I found out if you right click the start menu button at bottom right instead of normal left click, you get the old windows 7 type menu that has "control panel" etc.

Found out my old laptop over overheated and killed the processor. The tech guy at staples removed the hard drive and transferred the stuff over

I have two computer in the shed I will give to RTO next time he comes down I forgot to give them to him last trip. I usually take them in the backyard and do bullet penetration tests on them but saved these two.
I opened the last lap top and the fan was coated with dust and cat hair. Took a Q tip and simply cleaned it off. Easy to do JD..
