My 2 year old Win 10 HP would flicker and flash on bootup and was sluggish as hell once running after all the kluged ms updates. The mouse would take a second to respond every time I used it.
I bought the last model Panasonic Toughbook CF31 used (let GSA make the first payment), put in a 1TB solid state drive, Win7 and this computer SMOKES the HP. Photoshop loads 5 Times Faster. Every other operation is at least twice as fast not just loading from the hard drive.
I tried Linux and it took 2 days to get the hard drive back. Linux does not have anything comparable to Photoshop or QuickBooks and file systems aren't compatible.
This keyboard is lighted and has real switches, no more missing letters. I like my computer again!
I see all these hot new computers for sale and know the engine is a 4 cylinder 1200 cc salvaged from a wreck.
