Nice finds. Wish there was a Target closer than 80 miles from us. No Best Buy, either.

Wow, wish it were electric, but a great find, OP!

Any discounts for the Staples Plus membership fee? Mine will expire near the end of this month.

RE: Which Lenovo laptop would you choose, and why/why not?
@dangeruss said in Which Lenovo laptop would you choose, and why/why not?:
Dell Refurbished Dell Latitude 14 7000 Series (E7470)
Nice find, dangeruss. Looking at the What’s In The Box section, it shows “Tested/Functional Dell Battery (Minimal initial battery life is 1.5 hours, many models will exceed this.)” What on earth is this 1.5 minimal initial battery life? That is not long at all if you’re working off-grid.
And no, he doesn’t do cartridge recycling. He doesn’t buy much more than a few pens and pencils and maybe a ream of printer paper once a year, unless I give him some from my stash.

RE: Which Lenovo laptop would you choose, and why/why not?
He has a limited amount of money to spend (don’t we all?), so trying to keep it to around $400 plus tax (practically impossible unless we luck into a big sale). I think he might be able to go up to around $450 plus tax, though. He’s got a lot of health issues as well as a fair amount of insomnia, so he’s in his recliner a lot and depends on the laptop and a smooth connection with his TV across the room. He’s wishing for a fairly lightweight 15 Inch, SSD, 8 Gig, Win10, using it a lot for streaming movies and YouTube tutorials to his TV and for watching streaming live feeds from things like an eagle nest cam, the streaming surf cam at Outer Banks, Facebook and other social media, social meeting apps like Zoom, definitely at least a 1 year warranty included in the pricetag. Since no laptops these days come with a CD player/burner, my husband and I will surprise him with an external one for his birthday. It’s a major investment for him, so getting one that fits his needs is especially important.

RE: Which Lenovo laptop would you choose, and why/why not?
Back to Staples and Office Max with my retired Vet friend, and neither of these is suitable for his needs once we asked a lot more questions and dug down to the details. Thanks anyway, dangeRuss. And apparently I don’t have permission to delete this thread, or I would.

Which Lenovo laptop would you choose, and why/why not?
Are either of these a “Hot Deal”? Which Lenovo laptop would you choose? Good points, bad points? Retired Army Vet friend has max of $400 to spend replacing his 8-year-old laptop that died, and wants to buy it locally, not online. I found two Lenovo brand laptops in his budget. STAPLES - Lenovo I5, 1 YEAR OLD DEMO, 15.6", 8 gig, $399.46 clearance, supposedly was $699.99, no warranty because it was their demo for a year. Sorry, didn’t get a lot of detail because no tech was available to talk with and my husband was in a hurry; OFFICE DEPOT (still OfficeMax here) - NEW Lenovo IP3, with I3 processor, 15.6", 8 gig, 1 TB HDD, media card, HDMT, VGA, Win10, WiFi, Bluetooth, can expand memory up to 20gig, 7 hour battery life, 1 year warranty, $379.99, supposedly regularly $489.99.
My friend is a retired Veteran with health issues and spends a lot of time at home. He uses the laptop for social media, connecting to TV to stream movies, YouTube tutorials, etc, uses more than one browser, streams live feeds (eagle cam, Outer Banks surf camera, etc.), uses video meet apps like Zoom, has an 2 to 3 year old inkjet printer, and takes the laptop on trips occasionally. He wanted one with a CD read/write so he could burn old family photos and videos to CDs, and occasionally edit the videos. At his price range, that’s not going to happen, of course. Advice, please? Thanks! -
RE: Staples has Fresh Food
The prices may be more expensive, but if you are turning in ink cartridges, it is another way to save on your grocery bill. Currently I use the rewards to get toilet paper and paper towels whenever I don’t need toner as I still have plenty of printer paper.
