You know what happens when you get a credit card with $700 on it? Buy a new laptop, a new wireless router, and a mouse for the laptop.  Spent all but 20 bucks on it.

Life is good :)

20 bucks for the mouse, 50-100 for the router...that leaves less than 600 for the laptop.  Unless you got an absolutely legendary deal it can only be of mid-level quality...

..However if it's for free than I suppose that's hardly an issue.

The laptop was about $400 with a $160 two-year warranty.

As he said, you're not going to get high power for only $400.  lol.  What model did you get?

Well free is hard to beat. I recall both of my HP laptops very well, replaced more faulty hard drives in both of them than any man as a right to. :P

Lenovo is the best for laptops.  They're just like the old IBM's, absolute bricks.  You have to really try to break em, hardware wise.

So, I could use this brick of a laptop and beat you senseless with it?   :P

Theoretically you could, but that would be a massive waste of money. ;D
