A Google of "laptop buying forum" leads me to sites like this:

Chromebook link is broken

Any specific Chromebook deals that you'd see as being a particularly good fit for my needs? I've stopped buying hi-fi. Apart from replacing stuff that goes BER (Beyond Economical Replacement). Such as my AV receiver earlier this year (looking forward to watching Better Call Saul Season 3, blu-ray Di...

Are there any specific Lenovo deals that you think would be pretty close to optimum for me?

Are there any bits of info that I've left out that would help determine what exactly I should get?

Created a parallel thread on another forum. https://www.avforums.com/threads/what-replacement-laptop-should-i-get.2493332/ I'm not holding my breath that I'll get useful suggestions from over there.

And what sort of NIC's (Network Interface Cards) to Mel...

Seems like one has to pay a premium for Atmos functionality. Your S660H may well be better than my 3500H in a few respects. Since getting the 3500H I've watched a few films (only 1 of them Atmos), and the first season and half of Better Call Saul on Blu-ray. Plus some TV - mostly football. It's one ...

How does that speaker sound? If it sounds OK carry on using it and enjoying it for what it is. If it sounds pants either repair it or replace the driver or buy another speaker or pair of speakers. It's just a tool for a job. I'm pretty sure that Richard would encourage you to use your ears and to pr...

Here's an infamous video that's both funny and shockingly scary at the same time. Where a car theft suspect is handcuffed, searched and placed in the back of a police car. And then as one of the arresting officers is walking back to his car, an acorn falls on the roof. So quietly it's not picked up ...
