Merry Christmas

FairHooker11

gramps and granny Hooker love to be santa for the for the grandkiddos - toys and stuff under the tree!

but with the older kids - we all do the secret santa thing, one gift, and a challenge game to win a gift...

then another game to swipe someone elses unwrapped gift that turns out to be better

Very good sir ya I've been putting off buying a laptop myself. More important things to always get.

Would you believe I started looking after I got out of the hospital in 2015, October/November then waited until April 2016 when Microsoft quit updating Vista to use my laptop less and the tablet almost exclusively until I just bought the new laptop.

Tablets and phones are OK but I like a 15.6" laptop to do taxes and more. I did an exaustive search before buying this:

Lenovo Ideapad 310 - 15.6" HD Display Laptop with 3x Faster WiFi (Intel Core i7 6500U, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, Windows 10) 80SM00JSUS INTEGRATED DVD/CD-RW DRIVE: Ditch your external optical drive and enjoy the integrated DVD/CD-RW drive.

Price: $564.46 FREE Shipping for Prime members Details plus

2 Year Black Friday Multi-Device Protection Plan - Total Aggregate Claim Limit ($1000)

by Assurant Price: $29.99 & FREE Shipping

Protects against accidental damage from day one (drops, spills and cracks); and mechanical breakdown after the manufacturer's warranty expires

$1,000 in total claim benefits for the life of the plan - $0 deductible ($99 for mobile phones)

Why Lenovo ? Well this will be my 4th laptop since 1999 IBM or Lenovo and all still work fine just have outdated O/S, RAM and HDs good for an emergency back up but that's about it . Once I get the 310 running and files transferred I'll check out updating O/S in my current 2008 laptop, it has a 2 GB HD which should be fine then nuking it clean and see how long it will really last.

I'll keep this in mind 28. I'm a super boring guy on the Internet but some off line stuff I like to do as well. Does it have a cd burner as well?

Yes CD/DVD along with a touch screen/keyboard which I wanted. Most all laptops and tablets now do NOT come with an optical drive (CD/DVD) and it's a big extra same whim tedium touch screen on a laptop. Big extra. They what everyone using "the cloud".

Plus if you want a cheaper email, surfing and not heavy duty game machine you can get an ok HP, DELL or even an ASUS machine for $400 to $500.

I'm using my wife's 7" tablet now and it's a pain to type in the little boxes! Christmas is tomorrow for me I get my laptop woo-hoo .
