Hey...

I personally use this laptop and found it very good. its all features
are very good. Specially battery timing is reliable...





I didn't comment on the quality of the Lenovo products, I commented on
their place of manufacture. Some of us try to avoid purchasing
finished products made in the People's Republic of China. It isn't
easy, but it is possible. My Apple iMac has some PRC content, as does,
I suppose, every other personal computer, but at least it was
assembled elsewhere and has content from elsewhere.




Hacho en Mexico. Ole Ole.

I expect the Chinese buy the components from Mexico, Taiwan, and themselves just like Dell, Apple,
HP, etc.

I can't understand why anyone pushing for a Chinese style government here would object to 'finished
products' coming from China.

Indeed, the Chinese government closely resembles what the fans of
Christian theocracy want for this country.

I'm fascinated by the hypocrisy of righties, who claim to be
anti-communist but drop their objections to communism when it comes to
products manufactured in a communist country.

I'll just bet that piggy slob of a broadcaster, Flush Limbaugh, smokes
cuban communist cigars.

My wife has one and it's a nice machine, but it is heavy. and it's
also loaded with Visa, which is kind of a pain, but it does everything
she needs it for, which is a lot more than what i need. She's had no
problem with the machine itself, but the battery died w/in warranty,
and who ever she bought it from sent her one out promptly and a call
tag to send the defective one back shipping paid both ways.

The Geek Squad at Best Buys will remove all that stuff for $25. Not sure if they'll work on any
computer, or if it has to be bought there. My wife's was very clean when she brought it home.

Let's see...Tim's wife's computer was loaded with Visa, which "is kind
of a pain..." Visa, aka Vista, is the operating system on that computer.

Herring says the Best Buy boys will remove "all that stuff" (Vista) for
$25.

I wonder what parts of the operating system the Best Buy boys will
remove, and how well the computer will run without them?

You don't need or want Vista, install Win7 instead. If the computer
is current, there's no way it'd be delivered with Vista.

Along with cuban viagra and oxycontin.
