Lenovo P400 from the Lenovo Outlet.
I've started doing some more computationally intensive statistical analysis in excel and R and find myself needing a new laptop as result. Mobility isn't a major need (although I don't want something that's going to be huge), and this will usually be hooked up to an external monitor anyway. The processor is well rated here it seems, which for pure computation I suspect is most of what I need.
So what's wrong with it? It seems to be cheaper than peer models with similar CPUs, and I'm seeing a ton of refurbished models around, so it seems a lot of people are returning it. Any ideas?
