If I had my druthers, I would have gotten a Chromebook.
After about a five year break from Windows and Microsoft, I bought this Windows refurbished laptop at quite a good price. I have been making due strictly with android devices.I’m a big fan of Google Chrome, and what I have found is that Windows interferes with my use of that environment. I’ve downloaded my files from my phone and the cloud, but I can find them anywhere!Windows actively competes with Google and its apps anytime I try to work through Google. It yanks me by the arm and says “Don’t talk with them! We’ve got everything you need here in Microsoft apps including our own app store!” Unlike my Samsung phone which has a similar parallel system to Google; however, Samsung’s approach is different. Samsung will sometimes mention their apps and their app store. They don’t chain you to Microsoft world. Samsung does a soft sell saying, “We’re here on your device if you’re ever interested in checking us out.”I’m sure that somewhere there is and easy solution to my problem, but I don’t want to go searching down the rabbit hole to find it. I’m a senior. When PC’s of the mini and micro-varieties entered the workplace and shortly afterward the home. I was there using them.I skipped the whole MagCard environment and had only a taste of the mainframe punch cards. In the 80s and 90s, I did enough of that stuff for Microsoft because that was who was being used.If anyone knows the simple solution to my dilemma, do contact me and point me in the right direction. No, I don’t have deep enough pockets to switch to Apple products.Another feature I did not consider was that this machine does not have a touch screen. It has a TouchPad, but where are the right and left click buttons? I’m a fan of touch pads which are the descendents of that red button on my IBM ThinkPad, but I guess that is considered old tech now.Maybe I should have gotten yet a bigger notebook? But I’ve had three Kindles, whatever that Kindle thing that was almost a tablet, and three tablets. One Kindle was a duplicate gift. The other one got stolen at the laundromat on Christmas Eve.The first tablet was a little, cute Dell for which I splurged onone of the vinyl-covered cardboard case. I went to use it one day, and it wouldn’t charge. On inspection I learned that the charging port had gotten damaged and it wasn’t worth the money to fix it. The second one also quit charging or working directly from the charging cord, so it was also a write off, so to speak, since I couldn’t write it off my taxes. I had had it for a year. The third one got after waiting several months was stolen by a random person who visited my home one evening. That was two months after my phone was stolen on the bus. The phone at least was covered somewhat by insurance. Each notebook had increased in size from 7.5″ to 8″ to 10”. I have the safety covers still to remember them by since none of them fit the subsequent tablets.So that’s my story …

I LOVE IT!
SO EASY TO SET UP!
