Well, I\u2019m not sure it\u2019s a laptop.  It\u2019s a lot bigger than most women\u2019s laps.  Wouldn\u2019t even call it a notebook.<\/p>\n

Snagged it at Office Deport for less than $500 after tax.  That\u2019s not much more than a netbook.   Has 4 gig of memory, 64 bit machine and 260 gig hard drive.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s actually this one:  http:\/\/www.officedepot.com\/a\/products\/492522\/Lenovo-G550-156-LED-Backlit-Widescreen\/<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve already ordered a DC adapter and another power cord for it \u2013 by the way \u2013 that\u2019s one of my top ten tech tips.  Always buy a second power cord (at least) from Ebay and keep it at the house.  That keeps your laptop from becoming a brick.  I actually had the power adapter stolen once when I presented at TCEA \u2013 I know I always pack my stuff up, and it wasn\u2019t in my bag when I got back to the hotel and it wasn\u2019t in the room when I checked later in the day.<\/p>\n

I have always been able to pick up an adapter for under $15 from Ebay and this time was not an exception.  Having a DC one is nice since I spend a lot of time in the car.<\/p>\n

It seems nice so far and have no trouble loading any of my files.  I\u2019m keeping this for personal stuff and plan not to use it for school stuff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
