    At the pricepoint I paid, $280 for a refurbed touchpad/laptop, everything is junk

    Still, it had the key features I wanted, which was a small 11.6" laptop with an intel quad-core processor, HDMI, USB 3.0, and Bluetooth. Plus I've upgraded the memory to 8gig. I'll be using it as a desktop, which is fine, HP's plastic chassis doesn't always hold up well.

    oh I didn't know the backstory - not a new computer, not a desktop? lol.

    carry on!
    I like TSPTalk and I think most people here are well-intentioned but if I followed their advice, I'd be hunkered down in my basement with a thousand cans of tuna fish.

    I don't normally care to do split allocations, but given the recent change in landscape, I'm setting aside some buying power for next month. It will take some significant maneuvering to dig myself out of this -4.82% hole, but I've come back from worse.
    Perhaps I shoulda put more cash on the sidlines...

    Hey I got an Acer Aspire IV for Christmas and have no complaints. Also was eligible for the Windows 10 upgrade which installed with no problems.

    Whoa, nelly! Not guilty, no sir -- newest OS we have around here is Vista. Honest Native American!!

    In fact I do have my sights set on a Win 7 machine in (near?) future. Windows 10 isn't anywhere on my radar screen but even if the install CLAIMS to do all that I would BACKUP my files anyway. ALWAYS backup...Something goes wrong and PFFFTT goes the data.
