yep.............actually I already have a 17" HP laptop I had gotten from the the Q a few years back and loved it.........but.........it was HEAVY........so I gave it to RoRo and I bought the one the Q offered that was 15" and so far I really like it........I needed one that was easier to haul around when I'm at a clients house logging their wall dimensions and one that's got enough power for my CAD program.........windows 8 is taking a bit of getting used to but other then that it's awesome.......................................raven

Did your come with 8GB of ram? I was recently reading that one should have 4 GB per core.

I'd like to give a shout out to UPS, too. I ordered a couple of sparkly tops to wear for Christmas, from QVC. Yesterday, the tracking said they were due for delivery on Monday, but the brown van brought them today. Today is Sunday. I've never had a UPS delivery on Sunday before.

Today (Sunday) I had a package delivered to my door by USPS

Yes that's right, the postal service. I was happily amazed

my postman has done a lot of that this xmas season...........I was really surprised because we have those boxes they normally put packages in and leave the key in your box........but he's brought them right to the door...................................raven

I saw our mail lady driving her USPS van at 8.30am this morning, when I was out with the dog. She didn't bring me anything, but she obviously delivering in the area. I knew Amazon had contracted with the post office to do Sunday deliveries, I was just surprised that our regular lady driver was doing it, rather than them getting extra staff. I hope she volunteered, and wasn't pressured into working.

it comes with a package of software trials...........most of it, well all but one, is junk you'd probably never use or want..........could do without the Mac virus protection, not a fan of it.........but I don't use that laptop for anything but work...........the gesture thing is cool when you're showing a client the drawings of their new kitchen, that one I do like..............................................raven
