I looked for refurbished laptops and I got an HP Pavilion for only 300 bucks at Wal-Mart. But yeah, others were priced at 700 or 800 dollars with worse specs. Although back in 2008 when I bought my old laptop, it also costed me $700 bucks and it was nothing fancy.
Anyone know a way to create multiple folders with different names in one go? Ideally I'd like to put all the dates for one tour in a big list and create folders for bootlegs.

Yeah I would look for refurbished too if it was me buying it, but my new company is paying for it (and later discounting it off my monthly wage) and they want it to be brand new, not refurbished, box-open, etc.
What I'm surprised about is that I bought a very decent laptop in 2013 by 350€ and now I can only find shit laptops for that price So prices have gone up instead of going down (which is the usual for any product). Even the same laptop which I bought is retailing at around 470€ now (well it's discontinued everywhere, but some sites still have stock for it)... I just don't get it.
I hated the new Windows Start up menu, but I downloaded a little program called Classic Shell. Now I have the advantages of Windows 10 with the good old Windows menu.
I've been using it since Beta (and 8 before that). No good reason not to upgrade any more. Less Aero, more squares. Underneath it's still the same old Windows. Sometimes I miss Aero, but just follow Cesar's advice if that really bothers you.
I have Windows 10, and it looks alright. The Start menu is horrible, and Windows Explorer has been tweaked and is a little harder to use. It's not really worth upgrading in my opinion.

You may want to install Classic Shell. Trust me, it's a lifesaver.
