[QUOTE="TacomaJD, post: 589914, member: 1780"] I went through a couple different major websites that sell pc's like TigerDirect and so on, can't remember all the ones I went through. But the model Lenovo I bought was literally the only one in the $500-600 range that did not have a single bad review. You can get a good idea of what to expect with certain pc's by reading user reviews. I would look at pc specs, think I had one picked out for like $400 that suited my needs, read reviews, and there were tons of people complaining about what a slow piece of junk it was and/or describing problems encountered. I looked all over on my Lenovo's model for reviews and it was all praise, with the occasional "well this or that could be a little better, but for the price you can't beat it." So I pulled the trigger and have been super happy with it! Had it a year now and it's still as fast as it was when I first got it. I had a Sony Vaio before and it was decent til the HDD crashed. I sold it to our IT guy at work for $50. I also will never own another HP or Dell pc. My work laptop is an HP Probook with core i5 and Windows 7, it works ok, but has it's days every now and then. But it seems most business computers are safeguarded by more sophisticated protection and run smoother, longer, than personal pc's. There's plenty good info on the web about choosing the right computer for you and explaining what this and that is, just have to do your research to make a wise investment. Sadly, it's not as simple as going to pick up any old pc that's on sale and it work like you expect one should. It's like going to the car lot and there being a Metro, Cadillac, and a Corvette for sale, but you don't know which one to buy because they all 3 are cars with 4 wheels and will get you from A to B. I have zero patience for slow or malfunctioning electronics, so between pc's and smartphones, I've decided those are two things that are just not worth cheaping out on. [/QUOTE]
