Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Which Laptop to Purchase

But, woot is an amazon company and they are the scourge that threw Parler out into the street.

Just changed the CMOS battery on my ten year old dell inspiron running windows 7 just the other day. The only thing I can't do on it is run Mastercam machining simulations. Simple fix, I cut the program at home, load it to a flash drive. The next day I go to work, verify the cutter path and cut sequencing on my work computer (dell), convert it to machine language and upload to the HAAS.

There's a handful of big tech companies - MS, Apple, Amazon, and a few others, that run it all. You can't avoid them.
Lenovo is based in Hong Kong and is the biggest computer company in China. They bought IBM's personal computer division.
Acer is Taiwan. If you want an American built computer, you're SOL. For the most part, you can choose China, Korea, Taiwan, and Japan.

I also run the HP, I-7. The only non-issue I've had is unloading the base software after loading 365. It is a perfect machine.

Looks like High Noon missed my question or has not been back to the thread.

Bottom line is every [bleep]'r out there is our enemy, China, Amazon, MS, Apple

Personally I am leaning towards a Lenovo since my Toshiba needs an upgrade although I would prefer the stability of the Macbook.

thanks again for the responses. obviously, you folks know far more about computers than I, but you've given me several to research. thanks again.
