This is a reposting of a post I made on QRZ.COM<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Last week the laptop that I was using, that was a “hand me down” from my Mom; decided that there were too many problems in this world and that the letter “L” was the solution to those problems. in other words, it got stuck and I could not stop the thing for nothing. \":confused:\"<\/p>\n

Yes, I tried that<\/em>, and that<\/em>, I tried all of those things. and….nothing<\/i>. \":mad:\" I did everything, except<\/em> hit it with a ball peen hammer! I would have; but my Mom would have taken the Winchester rife that belonged to my grandfather and shot me with it! \":eek:\"(well, not really…. but, she would have given me good hollering at! \ud83d\ude09 and we all know, that’s worse than being shot!\u00a0 \ud83d\ude06 )<\/p>\n

So, a new laptop was needed. I also had to use some of that Christmas money that been sitting in the bank. \":oops:\"<\/p>\n

And so…. I got one of these:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

here’s how it looks, with the light off :<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Specs and info are here at this link.

\nIt also came bundled with a bag, which was too small. So, Newegg sent another one, free of charge, which was the correct size for the job.<\/p>\n

It’s not ASUS’s top of the line. But, man the graphics….the speed<\/em>! \"o_O\"\ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

I highly recommend the thing. If you can swing that price… Get one.<\/p>\n

For the geeks and those who don’t want to click a link, here’s the specs:<\/p>\n

Intel Core i7 6820HK (2.70 GHz) 64 GB Memory 1 TB HDD 512 GB (PCIEG3x4) SSD NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M 8 GB GDDR5 17.3″ Windows 10 Home 64-Bit <\/b><\/p>\n
