Mom bought me a Salonpas pain-relieving patch. Now I am in pain, but smell minty fresh!

Someone gave some laptop a one-star review because it had an optical drive. Somebody else gave a laptop a one-star review because it didn't have an optical drive.

I really don't use CDs, etc. often.

I believe that I am at the point of diminishing returns for finding deals, plus a number have already sold out, expired, or been abducted by aliens.

Bizarre. The forums kept signing me out, so I made that list in Excel, copied it back, formatted each link like for the first one, and then compared each processor with my i3.

As I recall, the sold-out 4,600h is as fast as the 1,165G7.

Both came out the second quarter of this year, but the Ryzen 5 is supposed to compete with the i5!

Then the Internet went out and some of these expire soon!

I copied my message to Word, reset the router, and when I returned my laptop had rebooted!

Word didn’t autosave!

Curiously, I eventually got an early version of my message back from my browser.

Allegedly the $490 HP Ryzen 7 is the fastest, although the $450 sold-out Ryzen 7 had a much better video card than the rest, although that isn’t as important to me as saving $40.

I checked all of these links when I copied them to Excel, but does anyone really understand computers?

I started trying to compare the best couple laptops when my browser froze. I used another, but I couldn’t find the one that looked the best.

It appeared that HP raised their price before the sale ended.

I cannot find anything else that I like.

It sounds like I need to check SlickDeals throughout the day. There was a post about a guy who got a 17.3” HP i7 for $250, but HP fixed it within an hour.
