I have been putting off buying a laptop for years.
Last month I was in to buy a few flash drives as they were on sale 3 for $12 or something like that. Cruised by the laptops as I always do. Been looking at Toshiba machines. Like the reviews. Been wanting the 17" but was looking at the 15" because of price at $499. Then the sales man came up and said have you seen the 17". I said it was too much. He said did I notice that the 17" was on sale for 3 days. The same price as the 15". The 17" was more machine with dual processors, not just more screen.
Well I bought the 17" after about one minute of consideration. Paid another $35 to have all the trail programs and sales ads removed. The techie said that stuff takes up 40% of ram so the machine should run lots faster.
So watch for sales. This was at Office Max but this was a Toshiba authorized sale. It seems to be moving through the various chain stores.
All my old programs run except one. I could up grade to Windows 7 pro. But I have chosen to learn another program which I have but haven't used much. I can bring stuff home and use my old program here should I want to use that old reliable program and then move stuff over via thumb drive.
