Hello everyone.
I will try to make this a quick summary. I don't upgrade laptops often, but it's time. I use my laptop mainly for audio editing and normal web/media use. Nothing too intensive. No games on this one.
Deal popped up for a "like new" Lenovo 510s on Amazon Warehouse for $450:
i7-7500u
256 SSD
8GB DDR4
14" 1080 IPS
Radeon M360
Laptop is a pretty nice package for the price, but I am not trusting the person who had this before and sent it back. Build quality is iffy, sticky/noisy space bar, creaky and speakers are shot... I feel like something was spilled in the thing. lol.
Office Depot had a one day sale for the same laptop for $499 new. Traded an old notebook during the $100 trade deal and got it for $399.
Anyway, I overlooked the specs. Everything is exactly the same (memory and SSD are actually benchmarking a bit higher than the other unit). But the cpu is a 6th gen i7, the 6500u.
I am having a hard time sending the 7500u just yet, but the speaker and keyboard issues make me uneasy.
So should I just be done with it and mail it away or keep searching for a laptop deal with a 7th gen?
I appreciate any feedback!
