The status is NOT quo.

Heaven forbid I try to sync ND's library with mine.

I'm gonna need a bigger boat hard drive.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, if a person were in the market for a new laptop, would CNET reviews be a good place to start looking? Or is there somewhere else? I'm looking for cheapish but not crappy.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

you can start there, but I find their reviews to be somewhat inadequate and usually out of date for my purposes. you might start reading and then ask here for opinions, etc.

I like Dell and Dell has decent deals on refurbished laptops.

I know others here like Sony.

Toshibas also get very high marks around here.

Cool, thanks. I like that CNET compares them to one another, because I don't really know what I'm looking for.

Cross my fingers? I'm really bad about that stuff.

The reason I ask is that I just got a notice that my McAfee subscription was renewed automatically and I'm just wondering if I need to pay $40 a year for this when I'm on such a tight budget.
