Bring it on. I am surely interested to see what the next step is. Hope all is well on your side? Oh I know I opted for a cheaper chipset but, it sure runs cooler then the Mac.

Hey Lorenkjr,

I'm good thanks, apologies for not replying sooner but I've been giving the old place a new lick of paint. What do you mean about the chipset?

 

[lorenkjr1]

Oh, I meant I got a Sony laptop with one of those cheapy chipsets in it. It's something model 4000. But, it works fine for me. I wanted to spend the rest of my money on accessories. Such as a touch screen, 8 gig's of ram, and 256 ssd. Oh yes, and some software too. I really disliked the Mac laptop, as it ran way too hot.
