I'm looking to replace my (old, creaky) netbook (Acer Aspire One D255e, a screaming dual core 1.6 GHz Atom, and a whole 2 gigs of RAM) with something faster but not too large. Sometimes (usually) the netbook is painfully slow. Something like a hi-res 14 (or 15) inch screen (full HD), minimum of 4 gigs RAM, HD of a half terabyte or bigger. I'd like to not have to go over 600-700 dollars, so I know my choices are somewhat limited if I want to avoid the 400-500 dollar windows 10 junk^H^H^H^Hsystems from BJs, etc. Something with a quad-core processor, and all hardware works with C7. I've glanced at Lenovo Thinkpads on amazon where there are several "factory refurbished" ones with similar specs to what I mention above in the $500-700 range, but I don't know if they're any good or not I'm open to suggestions from any/all of you! thanks in advance!
