If you're going with Windows, Lenovo is the better brand to go with.

home have all been very solid units. The only thing weird about that one is it has ONE review. Not sure I've ever seen that on Amazon before, LOL. That said, the 2TB option isn't very much more, you might consider that if you're going to download a lot of MP3s from Napster.

and it's written by a grandma. I think 2TB will be fine, unless I start downloading #### movies.

Thinking about building my next PC

This one was built in 2017. Last one was built in 2009. Both still running fine. Kids use the 2009 one for Minecraft. Only failure on both PCs to date was a power supply. Easy fix.
Bought a Dell laptop once. Lasted a year and a half. . SSD failed. Replaced. 6 Mos later the CPU fan died. Replaced that. Graphics then failed and I was done.
Seems single GPUs are the way to go now. Nothing much else has changed. Wifi 7 will be nice. Can finally get all the bandwidth I pay for.

make sure you do some research on the actual casing of the laptop. Ive had HP's and Dells that broke on the "hinges" or whatever you want to call them.

I've done all this shopping, Mrs No's tech person at school's thought it looked good, this laptop I'm on now, Windows can't be updated, I'm going for it. There's always the possibly Trump changes his mind and tariffs them after all.
FWIW, also ordered an iPhone 16 from our employee benefit thingy where we get points and get free stuff from a catalog. Same story, needed to replace iPhone 13 which is getting buggy.

I usually get 10 years or more out of them, so I will be good almost until retirement, lol. Like that's happening.
