Buying a New Laptop

[Jim Herrmann]

I found that MicroCenter has this Lenovo IdeaPad Z560 in stock in the store:
http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0353128

It looks like a powerful machine for the money.  I am currently on an Idea
pad.  It's had a few little oddities, but has generally worked reliably.

The thing I like about this deal is that I can walk in to MicroCenter and
walk out with a computer.  And there's the support the local brick and
mortar biz thing too.

Thoughts?
Jim
