So now I think I like an All in One. Went to Staples and saw the one linked below. Asked my nephew who has worked for Staples over a year (in another state)...he likes HP and said it should do what I want. Most demand....streaming movies and youtube.

Looked online,,,,this Lenovo has an AMD2 processor over the AMD1 in the HP...plus more Ram, etc. My thinking is the Lenovo.....what do you think?

Bumping to see if anymore opinions.

Dunno the specifics of the store warranty, but check your credit card benefits. Most of them will double the warranty (up to an additional year) for purchases. My AMEX and VISA both do this at no cost.

 

 

The "No Matter What" covers dropping it in the toilet, running over it, etc. My wife is a Spiller and a Dropper.

I wouldn't buy a computer from Staples, but that's just me.

 

If the all in one is your preference, go with the Lenovo from NewEgg. Though I would suggest checking out their laptops as well first.

I bought this one:

 

Asus ET2411IUKI-06 All-in-One 23.6" Desktop i3 3.3GHz 6GB 1TB Windows 8

 

It is factory refurbished.  Reviews from PC sites recommended factory refurbished.  Just got it today.  Love it.  Windows 8.1 not as bad as I feared.  I am working around it.  This thing is fast.  Screen is a monster...23 " HD.  I was using a 15" laptop.  I am going to have to get a taller chair.

 

Now...have to see how this lasts.  First impression ....I am very impressed.  Paid $436.  No tax, free 2 day shipping.

 

Thanks for all the replies to this thread.  Everyone (well most everyone) helped me.

Toshiba laptops are pretty good for the money. I hve one that has lasted for 4 years. The wife and kids use it now for facbook and kids games., but it is still going strong.

My Toshiba is going on 7 years old now. My inverter tube (LCD backlight) died over the weekend. It still runs fast so I'm not sure if I want to repair or replace.

Azuz must have greatly improved. They used to be the worst laptops on the market.

you have remember that when discussing laptops, the biggest differences between brands is the design of the outer case, tech support and preloaded bloatware.

The memory, processor, HDD, motherboard, display screen, etc are all manufactured by the same handful of corner-cutting people who sell to all the brands

    • Possible, he is physical and a forchecker but not a needle mover, but i wouldnt mind it, although I think we have enough 4th line grinders right now between Carrier Robinson and Janakowski  down there, i actually really love our 4th line.            We need scoring in the top 6, and a RHD at this point its definitely coming via trade.            Rasmus Andersson I hear may be on the market, it feels like every couple of seasons someone links us to Erik Karlsson.       As far as centers go,  Marco Rossi (even though we have a ton of smurf already)     Jordan Kyrou is an intriguing option if he is available.           At this point i think Rod should just move Jarvis to his natural center position to give us a 1B center...   yes hes also a smurf but he plays way bigger than he is stylistically.

    • The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.
