I've had an LG lappy too and I quite enjoyed it. Lasted around four years and I only really got rid of it as I went to Macs.

I actually didn't know that about Lenovo, one learns new things every day right? I recall IBM being great computers although that was back in the day when I had an Amiga 500. (I'm sure you'll remember what I refer to there.)

This new one has been good so far. I set it up into last night and today it's working a treat. I negotiated in a (free) new protection package over the AVG I was using, Trend Micro is lighter as far as the drain on the system goes and has some cool features so I've been getting that set up and learning how to use it. Of course getting my other stuff all set up took some time but it's all pretty much done. Hopefully I'll not have to do it again for five years and by that time AI might have taken over and we'll all be slaves doing their bidding.

I have an M1 Mac Mini in my basement that I use as a streaming server. I like the LG because it is light and easy to travel with. I know this probably sounds crazy coming from a tech guy, but I don't buy AV software anymore. The product that comes installed on Windows natively is used by many large businesses and it works well for them. As long as you are careful and you have something, it fits the bill for most users. Since you will be using your stuff for work, I can understand wanting something a little more.

I know a few people who don't run much in the way of Av but then I know some who run a great deal, like my organization, and some private others. I tend always to run it although am also quite careful what I do on the internet and where. I guess we can only be so protected and those who want in will get in, generally. I'm not super techy so don't know a great deal about computers, I do what I can though.

I think that is smart. I think also think that is why it is good that Microsoft just started building it into their OS. It just makes things easier.

I noticed that, it's called Wolf Security. I actually turned it off in preference to the other, but it's good to see things are moving apace in that regard, with cybercrime such as it is there's a need.
