I was going to get another Dell laptop to replace my last one but Lenovo had a great sale on and I went with it. The old D810 was used when I bought it and I paid $30 for it and swapped the burner out. It gave me not quite 2 years. I gave it to a needy friend after a DBAN wipe and ubuntu linux install for him. I think it still works.
For what little I use the Lenovo (the droid does a lot) it works very well.
Levovo doesn’t offer a 17” laptop here in Japan . This would be my main computer , replacing the HP 20” desktop , so 17” would be the smallest screen that’d work for me .
