    Re: should I go new or used...laptop poll question

    ended up getting a deal through work ..complete and total over kill but it has the display

    the old slippery slope though.... get this one which has what you need..
    for a little more ..get a lot more
    for a little more get the support contract that covers spills..
    a little more get the 4k TV
    order it now .. get 10% back ..finance through dell another 10%
    end result I spent more and got the killer Laptop

    Good man. If you will use the extras sounds like a good buy.

    Free win10 upgrade? Make sure to read about the security/privacy issues. They can easily be mitigated.

    Agree with you but if you are going to drop the Windows OS and move to an Android distro there are even better privacy OS's distros.

    My top 3 are Parrot Security, JonDo, and lastly Tails (in that order, all Linux).

    Re: should I go new or used...laptop poll question

    well I have been delaying transfer data from my old laptop to the new ... once the display was replaced ...
    it was what I was comfortable with..

    well apparently the screen failing was a harbinger of things to come and I should have scrapped it then .
    it is now dead ... no post ..

    I had the box , and it was a decent laptop, just low res screen...
    darn I was thinking I could sell it on Ebay for a nice bit of coin ...

    anyhow yesterday I got linux on the new one ( win10 has issues that I don't like)
    and copied the mozilla and thunderbird file over from the old hard drive
    ... boom I am back in action..
    on the new laptop ..love this screen . the keyboard is a little awkward and will take a while to get used to..
    the battery life is off the chart ... I could start to get use to this ...

    see what I can get for the scrap old one ..

    So the correct answer was go new ...and I took the wrong route ;(
