I checked the Amazon link. Looks like a decent laptop and at a good price. :)No, I did order one, it should be here any day. I got the one I linked above, but I'll insert link here, and thanks to all for your help :)I will be back to let folks know how I like it, and also may need some help with the 11, been on 10 for some years now

I'm hoping, the specs look good, and "some" good reviews. I bought a very similar one before but sent it to my sister. I just wasn't using it enough and she really needed one. Now I wanted one like it because it was excellent, and remember enjoying having it beside my recliner and using it on a little, lap-tray I still have. I don't take my laptop with me anywhere, unless I was to move so it being heavier is not a problem. It stays in one place. The lap-tray fits across the arms of my recliner and puts no weight on my legs. I'm so spoiled, LOL!I checked the Amazon link. Looks like a decent laptop and at a good price. :)
I prefer the larger screens. The laptop I have now has a 15.6" screen. I won't go any smaller because of the strain on my old eyes. When I take it out to my shed (man cave) I hook it up to a 20" monitor that someone gave me. My main desktop has two 27" monitors. When I purchased my cell phone I went with the Galaxy S9+ because it had the larger screen.I'm hoping, the specs look good, and "some" good reviews.

Speaking for myself, Nice laptops but way out of my price range. :)A Trusted Brand for Gaming Laptops | Sager Notebooks

if you want to make a custom laptop....try sager...
That's another reason I like a larger screen, my eye-sight. The last couple of books I bought online were both such small-print I just gave them away. I read either online, or on my Kindle Fire. Saves on apartment space too I love my gaming PC (also HP) and monitor, and I wanted to be able to play my puzzle games on my laptop too (The Room series, and House of DaVinci are my faves so far ).I prefer the larger screens.

Perhaps give it some time to get used to Windows 11? I didn't like it at first either, but I've gotten used to it and actually like it better now than Windows 10 (which I'm still forced to use at work). But perhaps I'm an exception. A lot of people on this forum seem to be putting a lot of effort into getting Windows 11 to look and feel exactly like Windows 10. Which is fine off course, but I really think Windows 11 isn't that bad if you give it a fair chance.I love the computer itself, but not fond of the changes in Win 11. I'm wondering if it's still ok to downgrade to Windows 10 as your tutorial gives complete directions, and says later, I can go to Win 11 if I decide to??
I just don't like them making it harder for me to turn off apps running in the background. I just wonder what is the next thing they've made harder. I do games mostly and I since this was the only 17" I found I liked, it had 11 so thought I would try it. I'm not liking it because I'm used to 10 and not ready to learn more "ways" to be honest. So I'd like to hear possibly, from someone that switched theirs back to 10 and everything went well following the tutorial. Also, if I should want to try 11 later, I would still be able to do that?Perhaps give it some time to get used to Windows 11?

Before you take that step, may I suggest you use it a while longer. I have not found most of the changes in 11 to be offputting and the ones that really bothered me the most, there are ways to overcome. For me, 11 overall is a really good OS. The tutorial section of this forum has the answers for most anything one does not like. Use the search function of the tutorial index page to find what you want or browse the tutorial section in general.if it's still ok to downgrade to Windows
And a lot of people on Ten Forums put a lot of effort into getting Windows to look like Windows 7. It's just that some people don't like changes, while others are prepared to accept and work with them.A lot of people on this forum seem to be putting a lot of effort into getting Windows 11 to look and feel exactly like Windows 10.
Well said Bree, as always I'm getting older now, more set in my ways, and I love the laptop, right sized perfect for in home use. I had read Win 11 is much like Win 10, so thought I'd try it out. I'm not even saying I will definitely take it down to Win 10, but I want to know that the tutorial is still up to date. I think it is from 2020 if I remember right. I don't want to mess up the laptop and would rather be forced to use/learn 11 than do thatAnd a lot of people on Ten Forums put a lot of effort into getting Windows to look like Windows 7.
