I'M currently shopping around for a laptop, currently Amazon and Best Buy, but there are so many options available.
I'll primarily be using it for WGT and some home applications.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks ;
Ron

Check craigslist . Look for someone near a college or university near you that builds computers . You will likely find several competing with each other for price and quality .
They will likely have several models and prices .

That is good advice from Paul, my next system I'll also probably go the route of having one built or building it myself.
Although it never hurts to look at as many options as you can (I hope I'm not over stepping my bounds here, by bringing someone into it). I also would askazdewars. He has shown a great knowledge of computers and I'll assume that he wouldn't mind giving you his advice. Again not to detract from Paul's advice, just suggesting that you look into all avenues. Computers can get costly and you want to make the right choice. I know I have purchased some lemons in the past that I could of avoided with a little checking.
Good luck,

Don't be silly Gene . I've waited years for some members to say something .
Comments and opinions from you guys are the highlights of my day , week , month , year . Bring as many people as you can into it . You couldn't have picked a better person time or subject . Well , maybe a better time . John's not feeling so well at the moment . But I hope he sees this and responds as he is the TNITV . Top nerd in the Valley .

Haven't tried it Ron . . But my opinion of products that require selective software is that they are limiting . Similar to the Chrome browser . I don't know how versatile the Chrome book is .

Thats the ONLY way to go! I can recall the 2 namebrand computers I have had since the 90's.. all the rest I build myself. The latest I built/programmed back around April 2016. Not a high-end gaming system mind you, but you couldn't buy one like it for under $1700

Wow John, that's awesome and very generous of you to commit the time and effort..
I would of said something sooner, but my computer keeps breaking down, just kidding.
I'm very happy and proud to be part of a group with members like yourself, that will help one another out without worrying about being compensated in some way, other than just the pleasure of knowing you've helped someone. We have a group of guys and gals that are genuinely nice people. A rarity in today's society IMO.
Thank you
Gene

A big THANK YOU to Paul, Jim, Gene and Scott for your continued support AND kind words. The four (4) of you men have given me some faith back in mankind. Thats HUGH in my book..
Ron is sending some minor info on connection source, and definition of "home use".
I'm installing MS Office Pro Plus 2016 (activated) and hopefully that will cover it. Run some diagnostics and tests. If all fares well, I told Ron he should have system by next Saturday.
Thanks again guys for making my day..
John -azdewars

add: Jim, Thank you so much for your PM and concern. Super improvement. Future looks bright. You and your family are in my prayers. john

  Damn John.....everything about this club has amazes me.....this is so way above and beyond it's unbelievable. It most definitely renews my faith in humanity.....you rock my friend!!!!!! I was in need of a set of headphones not too long ago and mentioned something of that nature to Turdster...I didn't ask for them, just said I couldn't Skype with my daughter because I didn't have a set.....needless to say, I no longer need them...Dan sent me a great set...simply amazing!!!!! Anytime I start to get down on how and how fast the world is going to hell, I see things like this and it points my thinking in a new direction...Thank you guys for that....Jim

Just as an update , the laptop that Adzewars (john ) sent is working just great and I thank you all.

I / we have lost so many original CC members this year . It has been so long since I heard from John . I'm almost afraid to message him . But he shows that he is playing several times a week . So I know he's not going anywhere . But still it's not normal for you to be this quiet John .
