    i remember getting a new computer after using my Packard Bell for 12years. it ran slower than dirt but it still ran so i never bothered to upgrade before i reached a point of 'enough is enough' LOL

    works good

    Computer is working good so far,a lot faster at startup than the last one.keyboard a little different,delete button is not on the bottom row,to use the enter button,you have hit the ctrl button and enter at the same time.I hit the wrong language for the keyboard til I found the right one but every time go online,have to switch it to the right one.
    thanks very much devon. I have been boo'd.

    I too am getting a new laptop. Mine, like me, is getting older and moves slowly. I’ll be on Windows 10. I don’t do a lot of streaming and I’m not a gamer. I mostly need it for word processing and the Web. I ordered it on line and it should be delivered to the store by the end of the week. I knew this was something I’d be doing pretty soon.

  13. Congratulations!

    my first PC was a Packard Bell box shaped computer that was hand me down from my brother after he already had used it for 3years before he upgraded an gave me it.
    it got to running so slow that i could brush my teeth; finish getting dressed; watch a bit of the news an it would still be in the process of booting up when i returned.
    thats even after reformatting it an no bloat/viruses or whatever slowing it down.

    now i have a PC that boots up so fast that i can barely sit down in my chair an its fully booted up.
    its so nice
