Laptop Choice?

A new query, like, which laptop to buy? Guess what? There's a thread for that.
If you don't like it, I suggest you visit one of the 30,000 computer forums available to you.

Every thread has a certain period when it is on topic, then (just like this one) it careens off into the distance.

What I wanted to avoid was the previous distractions taking over from the question I wanted to pose.

Your merge obsession is becoming rather worrying, it stated as you trying to be tidy, now it's the equivalent of washing your hands 30 times before doing anything- it has become a hindrance.
