Well, the list for the one I got is about $2100, has a 128G SSD (M.2) and a 1T Rotator.
You might want to look in to system 76. They make laptops with Ubuntu installed – I could have had one with 512G SSD, 2T Rotator, 16G RAM, high-speed WiFI, and some other stuff I forget for about $1480. But it was ‘only’ 1080p, not 4k… Rusty From: PLUG-discuss [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stephen Partington Sent: Tuesday, September 05, 2017 1:23 PM To: Main PLUG discussion list Subject: Re: Warranty!!?!?!?!?! I would look into one of the models that have the SSD+HDD combinations already (i have seen the 32GB SSD for OS or caching) and use that. But i am looking for something very similar to that (alienware 17 is looking the most promising) however as i can order it with a spinning drive and add a pair of m.2 ssds later.

But as far as I know, NOBODY got their refund…. Again, where’s > the lawyers????) I remember that, as part of BALUG many years ago. I never got a refund and Microsoft tried to turn it to their advantage by setting up a booth. I think there's a documentary out there somewhere. When dealing with warranty crap from laptop vendors I just take an image of the drive. If I have to send it in I don't include the drive anyway, and I've never been given grief over it. Still, having an original hardware backup like that is kinda cool. /i. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss -- A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
