It was time. I had to retire my Sony VAIO. It was just about 8 years old, the trackpad was acting all funny, the sound was so quiet I could barely hear it, and the 15" display was getting hard to see with the old eyes. So I got a monster DELL INSPIRON SERIES 5770. 8th Gen i7 Intel, 256SSD, 2TB HD, 16G of RAM, 4GB AMD Radeon 530 Graphics, 17.3" display, backlit keyboard, dang is this thing nice. Great price on Amazon, and a comparable HP was at least another $400-500.
