@c3 said in Which Lenovo laptop would you choose, and why/why not?:

I’ve been buying from https://www.dellrefurbished.com/ for many years. Either 6xxx or 7xxx for laptops. CPU performance has not really changed much for a long time. Check the Single Thread Rating at https://www.cpubenchmark.net/. Should be at least 1500. 40%-50% off coupons are pretty common.

OMG there is NO selection there, just 3 models in multiples. Are those off-lease computers from companies?

this might fit the bill, Y’all would have to upgrade to SSD in future though. But as a poor person, it’s easier to piece together than a lump sum. one below has SSD;

Dell Latitude E5570 15.6in Laptop, Core i5-6300U 2.4GHz, 8GB Ram, 256GB SSD, Windows 10 Pro 64bit (Renewed)

an external cd writer will serve his purpose.

I personally would go with the one with 1 yr warranty. Laptops these days are made with disposable parts so 1 yr is about it’s lifespan. He may get more out of it, but manufacturers build it cheap on purpose.
I would have said https://www.walmart.com/ip/HP-15-6-Touchscreen-Intel-Pentium-Silver-N5000-4GB-SDRAM-500GB-HDD-15-bs244wm-Scarlet-Red/932224106 but it’s out of stock. $400 isn’t alot laptop wise, A dependable one will cost $1000+

@ctujackbauer said in free streaming rentals of WB film "Just Mercy," starring Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Foxx til 6/30 (released Jan 2020):

Just Mercy was probably the best historical drama in a while. If you count the mid-80’s as historical.

The director also made an amazing debut movie, Short Term 12. If you have a library card, most of them give you access to Hoopla, which has that movie for free. Highly recommended.

The link is below without a link preview:

I would imagine most don’t, you are lucky.
"How much does hoopla cost?
Hoopla is free to public library users in cities that sign up for it, but do come at a cost to the libraries that adopt it. When a user borrows an item, libraries pay between $0.99 to $2.99 per title. " No way a small town library can afford that, I’m not even sure how a metro one can either in these times.

it was great movie, always embarrassed the most ignorant things that happen, seems Alabama always is mentioned.

@frugalfreak this is just a warning: go into store with code, do not enter credit card info online at samsclub.com with no padlock.

How did you get to the insecure page?
@dangeRuss, go to sams club join site with link on this page, add email address, get email, click on link in email, the first page is fine, you fill in your name, email, info for family member to get card, etc, THEN hit “next”, the next page ask for payment, THAT page is the insecured one, the one that should be secure at the least.

BINGO! YOU SHOULD NEVER ENTER CARD INFO UNLESS SECURE with a padlock icon.

Who can tell me what’s wrong with this page?
