I would love to do this, but I am so damn computer illiterate that everything you've typed looks like a different language to me :rofl: My closest computer confidante is bikrboy Matt, I should see if he can do all of that for me. BUT, whadja think of the one I posted?

Its okay spec-wise. Older but serviceable as long as the crap stays off it. It should be okay, but will struggle with 4k content. The i5-7200 isn't a great CPU by today's standards.

I'd look at newer laptops like this one as they are similar in price. Better display, battery life, and way better speed. Only a 128GB SSD, but there is always external or cloud storage for super cheap.

Piggybacking on this thread. My daughter needs a laptop for college ASAP, pretty much this weekend. Hers took a shit. She will use it for normal college shit and social media stuff. I know SSD is what she should look for from previous threads. Her only other request is a 15”-17” screen.
Budget is $750 or under

What happened to hers and do you still have it? I need a laptop that can play Spotify for my outside standalone speaker

That's well within my budget, so that's not a problem. Does something like that play in 4k without buffering? I've never seen anything in 4k before, I know, I literally live under a rock.
