My current laptop SUCKS! https://www.microcenter.com/search/...ch&N=4294967288+596&myStore=true The solution to any problem - work, love, money, whatever - is to go fishing, and the worse the problem, the longer the trip should be. --John Gierach

Mine has an AMD Ryzen chipset with 8 cores, 16 GB RAM and an 1TB SDD. It is fairly fast. 2005 Lund Rebel SS 1650 with Merc 25 HP 4-stroke. Make America Great Again - Again! DJT 2024

I'm constantly having to go back and add letters due to this laptop's poorly functioning keyboard. I guess I could buy a regular keyboard in the meantime, but I also want a bigger screen.

If I am at my desk with it I have 2 additional 24 inch monitors making it a 3 screen setup, and us an add on keyboard since I have the laptop setting further away. But when I have it in another room or on the back patio with me I don't have any problems typing, even with my large arthritic hands. Added: It does tend to get a bit hot, so I have one of those Alien Cooling pads that I use under it when I use it on my lap. https://www.amazon.com/Alien-Studio..._=fplfs&psc=1&smid=AQUHVG2UWZSAB Last edited by Emit R Detsaw; 08/05/22 01:51 PM.
