[AccessD] Black friday laptop for $599

[James Button]

Thanks for the info.
Especially USBC port is 100w PD

I am in the UK, so the Walmart prices will be substantially higher in £.
When exchange rate was £=$1.40, conversion of IT kit prices was usually in the
line of $1=£1.40
or have the fun of paying import duties, and the added shipment handling costs
as well as the frequent occurrence of a reduced warrantee
difference in USA, and EU sale of electrical goods liability of retailer 

Still - going to the link for a look at them now, if only for the tech spec of
available laptops

BTW I purchased one of these ibn the same line, just a higher end cpu.  It
comes with a power *BRICK* and I do mean *BRICK*.  Mine is 300+ watts 20v,
is physically large and HEAVY.  The reason is that my machine has the 3070
gpu which is just a power hog while gaming (I don't game).

However... it charges via the USBC!!!  Yes, a huge thing because I had a
usbc 60 watt charger from somewhere and it charges my laptop just fine,
although the laptop does complain about a slwo charger.  The battery is
just under 100 wh so it will charge quickly, even while I am using it
(though not if I were to be gaming).  My machine's USBC port is 100w PD
which means I can also charge it via a 100w usb charging cable, which I
also do, and the complaint about a slow charger goes away if it is charged
via a 100w charger..

I don't even carry the brick any more, leaving it constantly plugged in
beside my recliner at home.

*Do your own research* if you buy this version.  It has usbc, but the specs
are not mentioned anywhere in the advert.

My laptop is considerably higher end than this one, but I must say I just
love the Lenovo Legion line of laptops, which is why I recommend this
walmart black friday deal.  If this is your price comfort range, I'm
confident that you will enjoy this machine.
