WOW!!
Talk about overkill on data information.
This thread is a gold mine.
I went to Tigerdirect.com (they are having a giant sale today).
I looked for several basic things: 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD....500GB HDD etc
I found some fantastic deals, but when I looked at the details, they were refurbished and there was nothing to indicate "factory" refurbished, so I passed....and I mean fantastic machines in the near-$2000 range for 550 more or less. But, refurbished.
So I went Lenovo, new. I will report further on it when I have it in my hands.
I will be asking Cobraboy for his help to get the system acting more like WIN 7 if that is the right thing to do.
I also got a 1TB external HDD for backup and whatever...and a 27" monitor
JIC someone is looking for a 27"monitor, they are 59 dollars today on tigerdirect.com. Mine cost me 119...oh sh!t.
Anyway, this has been a fantastic thread, and I will ask the Super mods to make it a STICKY, because is it so chock full of good information.
I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas, and let's all hope for a Better-than-ever New Year for all of us.
