There are several results but this is the top one:

Is that the right one? If not could you post a link

i think it is. I'm on my laptop right now so I usually do this from my phone. But it's worth a try. Try it out and if you have any issues let me know and I'll go on my phone and find the link I used... but i'm fairly sure that's the right one.

OK then, cheers mate

OH if you're going for a tablet (if you're still thinking of getting anything) be aware that a) they have usually quite low disc space (I think mine has 32 gig, that's about ten times less than the lowest-spec cheapest laptop) but more importantly are pretty **** if you want to write on them. Unless you pay extra or get one with an external keyboard, you'll be using an onscreen virtual one like you probably have on your phone. These aren't good for writing long rambling diatribes on why one man playing a dustbin lid while farting is the new Bandcamp must-download. What are you using to write your journal articles?

I have a tablet, which I bought more or less to read comics because it's better than a PC for that (and about only that) and I hardly ever even power it up these days. I've used it maybe twice since I bought it about a year and a half ago.

the **** kinda ****ty tablet doesn't have a spot for an SD card?

Does that have an SSD? Probably don't consider getting one that doesn't have one of those.

7200rpm = not SSD

but to me that's not such a big deal. Usually means more storage for cheaper. Just back your **** up.

A Dell G3 is just over $700 and 32GB 2666 megahertz DDR4 is about $130 average.

For just a bit more you could have a much better machine. Just a thought. The Lenovo you're looking at seems decent though, and I've used Lenovo's exclusively for our RTD systems for a while, since they were dirt cheap as refurbished machines. I usually have a stack of them next to my desk.

Good luck in your search.
