Friend is not happy with new laptops
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Studio...6DOrF3mcYpV%2Bg06cTo8%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc
So, he bought this 2010 laptop for $275. Seems like a lot for a WinXP 4GB 500MG laptop with 2010 year CPU. What is a better buy in this price range? Just spend $350 for a new entry level Lenovo PC?
My overall annoyance with the layout of windows 8 combined with this new dell's crappy build quality (plastic-y, creaky, lousy keyboard action, no dedicated buttons for audio etc, overall cheap feeling) combined with the fact that it does not have a backlit keyboard (nor is it available for this model) requiring me to put on GLOW IN THE DARK stickers so I can use the damn thing at night sealed the deal. Dells used to be built like Mercedes, now they're built like the worst 80's GM products.
