I've been using a Dell Latitude D something for 4 years now and it's beginning to show it's age. Purchased this computer as a refurbish from the Dell Auction 4 years ago. No complaints except that it's become slow and the case is starting to fall apart. I paid $180.00 for it.
So I have been bidding on a "new" laptop for a while and finally won, Latitude E6430 with windows 7 this was $210.00 with shipping. So far so good. I have a license for Microsoft Office 2010 and Norton internet security so I have this laptop running for only the cost of the actual unit. Much faster and more enjoyable to use than the old Dell.
Well, that's my story, have a great day!
