OK then, cheers mate :cool:

OH if you're going for a tablet (if you're still thinking of getting anything) be aware that a) they have usually quite low disc space (I think mine has 32 gig, that's about ten times less than the lowest-spec cheapest laptop) but more importantly are pretty **** if you want to write on them. Unless you pay extra or get one with an external keyboard, you'll be using an onscreen virtual one like you probably have on your phone. These aren't good for writing long rambling diatribes on why one man playing a dustbin lid while farting is the new Bandcamp must-download. What are you using to write your journal articles?

I have a tablet, which I bought more or less to read comics because it's better than a PC for that (and about only that) and I hardly ever even power it up these days. I've used it maybe twice since I bought it about a year and a half ago.

the **** kinda ****ty tablet doesn't have a spot for an SD card?

Does that have an SSD? Probably don't consider getting one that doesn't have one of those.

7200rpm = not SSD

but to me that's not such a big deal. Usually means more storage for cheaper. Just back your **** up.

1) lmfao
2) my phone

3) thanks for input bro

right now I’m thinking I might be able to justify the expense next summer unless something else ****ed up happens

Oo you use swipe to type? I live by swipe. That's why I edit my posts so goddamn much.

A Dell G3 is just over $700 and 32GB 2666 megahertz DDR4 is about $130 average.

For just a bit more you could have a much better machine. Just a thought. The Lenovo you're looking at seems decent though, and I've used Lenovo's exclusively for our RTD systems for a while, since they were dirt cheap as refurbished machines. I usually have a stack of them next to my desk.

Good luck in your search.

^ looks like you are nearly 5 years late on shipping that briefcase with El Dorado, might want to get on that

lol

I got that in the mail last week. It's a system that needs diagnostics and that was the original tape that it shipped with back in 2016.

Well yeah but that's extra expense and you have to buy it separately.
SSD is all about the speed though, particularly for Windows access. You wouldn't believe the difference once I replaced my old HDD with a small SSD.
Wow! You write those on your phone? My respect for you just skyrocketed. I hate writing on my phone.
Is that an app? I can never find anything decent to use on the phone to write, for the few times I need to.
I know Plankton's a miracle worker, but come on: shipping to a city that doesn't even exist might be beyond even him!

Preciate it

Excellent. Thanks

Okay well that's good enough. Sounds like a good deal. Lenovo are a respected make. Is it one of these that separates so you can use it as a tablet if you want? Not that important, just wondering.

No. Already have a tablet that (as noted) is a poor long form writing tool. Thanks

... Just bought a 256 GB one for about 30 bucks lol. Storage has become insanely cheap.

Yeah I know it's better to store your OS on but once again that's not a deal breaker to me personally. Yeah it boots faster but what else? My laptop is fast enough for what I need it for.

think it's just a standard feature of Google keyboard on Android.

lol wat

I get you, but if OH says 300 dollars is his absolute limit and then buys one for that, he has to factor in an extra 30 dollars or so. May not make a difference, I'm just saying, it's extra.
Any program or app you install onto the SSD will run a lot faster too. Task-switching will be smoother, resources less dragged on.
Uh-huh. But what does it do?
:beer:
He means in a computer sense, not a lifestyle sense, and in that he's right. If you've been struggling with your OS and getting from one tab to another or from one program to another, it will speed that up like you would not believe. Bootup time just rockets too.
