[AT] OT - Refurbished computers

[charlie hill]

Mike,  the laptop I'm currently using is an ASUS brand.
It's starting to get a little long in the tooth now.  I think
it's 5 or 6 years old but it's been one excellent and trouble
free machine other than being all clogged up and slow now
because I don't delete many e-mails and there are probably close
to half a million on it by now.

Charlie

Thank you for all the replies regarding my search for a new computer.
I'd really like to stay with the 15.6" screen, as my eyes really need
that. I'm also seeing a lot of the SSD drives in many of the computers,
but they are all smaller than what I have on my drive now, so I don't
think that's an option for me.  To get to the 15" screen in the Lenovo
brand jumps right out of my price range. I'm sure I'll find something,
thanks again for the suggestions.
