Hi,
Well I've been holding off on buying a new laptop for way too long. I currently own a 2016 15.6" HP Pavillion Intel Core I7 Gen 6 with 12 GB RAM. I had the hard drive and battery replaced around 2 years ago. The 500 gb SSD was a godsend compared to my previous HDD. The screen, although functional, was always pretty bad. Amazing HD clarity they said back then. LOL Unfortunately, the battery is dying out again and the fans sound stressed during startup and I have been having a black screen pop up every once in a while a few minutes after startup. I am still on Windows 10.
I knew I wanted the most powerful system I could afford. I was hoping to stay under $2500 all in. I did have to order a mouse and 2024 Microsoft Home/Office. This may be overkill now, but it probably won't be in 6 or 7 years. I like keeping my electronics for as long as I can. So, after researching the HP Omnibook X, the Dell 2016 XPS and the Lenovo Yoga Pro, I ended up with the 16" Thinkpad T1G Gen 8 Intel. They were running a really good sale on this one with great specs. I was able to get it for 5% less, but I could have gotten it for 8% less but I hesitated for an hour. I should have this on Monday and will be home most of the day to sign. I think it was a good deal. I cant spec anything the same way without spending more $$.
