What SD said - with emphasis. I'm very happy with my Lenevo, and if you can still get one with W7, that can only a very big plus.
(I will admit that W7 is turning out very well in my new installation. I'm even finding some things that I like. I've installed Classic Shell, and because the file search function in W7 Explorer seems quite hopeless, I've become a fan of AgentRansack. Despite it's off-putting name, it seems to be a very useful file search engine.
OK - I resisted w7 right up until the week when support for XP ended for the bottom feeders like me.
But it is faster,safer (hopefully), and with these two add-ons is doing almost everything I want - lacking only in the ability to run a couple of older dos based program upon which I had come to rely).
