| From: William Park via talk <talk@gtalug.org> | I came across https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883795779 | $1000 -> $340 | Not sure how upgradable it is, but as "all-in-one" goes, it's cheap. Offer ends today. It is interesting if it is something you want. - refurbished. This is probably off-lease (the product is quite old). Some folks have had bad experiences with refurbished products sold through NewEgg.ca. + i7 processor - i7 3770s (four generations back). The "s" means lower power and lower speed (but not laptop level) -- probably a good tradeoff. - unspecified video resolution. Probably lower than I'd like. Probably 1600 x 900. No idea if it is IPS. It might be a touch-screen (but I think that they would have mentioned that). - unspecified connectivity. Does it have USB 3? Does it have HDMI? Probably: USB 2-only, gigabit ethernet, DisplayPort, stereo in and out. - doesn't say who did the refurbishment. 1 year warranty is apparently included (good!) but then they want to charge you an additional $40 for a one year "hassle free replacement" warranty. Does that mean that the included warranty includes hassles? - There is no indication of who provides the default warranty (there are indications that it isn't NewEgg). - don't forget to add the $15 shipping. - There is no indication what the exact model is. There are lots of models of the M72z. Here's a list of the most popular variants: <http://www.lenovo.com/psref/pdf/withdraw/M72z.pdf>
