I am a Mac guy...
I need a Windows laptop to use for tuning and other vehicle related stuff. Will probably also use it in the garage for streaming music, reading PDF's, etc...
I dont want to run parallels/bootcamp on my Macbook.
I have been perusing the Lenovo refurb site and think one of the Thinkpad L13's with an I3 processor and 4gig of ram is probably good enough for what I need. I dont think any of the programs I will be using are very resource intensive. Will be using HP Tuners VCM, Forscan, and probably another tuning program.
This is the specific one I have been thinking on:
Check out our range of new and refurbished laptops now in stock at the Lenovo Outlet Store. Grab yourself a bargain, but hurry as stock is limited.

I have also been thinking on this one that has 8gig of ram, better processor(i5 vs. i3) and is touchscreen(I dont know if its actually a Yoga model that turns into a faux tablet or not, but it seems like MAYBE it is). I dont think I need any of the features, except it might be nice if it IS a Yoga model for reading PDF's while working on the car(tablet mode vs. laptop).

Anybody got any thoughts on these refurbs direct from Lenovo? Im not interested in buying a refurb from a 3rd party only direct...
Dell also sells refurbs, but they seem to be more expensive than an equivalent Lenovo.
Anything else I should think about?
