@blanchsb Jesus christ, I… what… oh boy. First time this has happened to me, you mean stuff you do over the internet can have real life consequences? Now I feel responsible… ok , breath, breath.
I don’t know what instant rebate is, first time I’v ever heard that term, but Lenovo laptops have a reputation of being a great workhorse as far as I know. I was going to go for a Lenovo when I was deciding what to buy, but they were expensive and went over my budget. Those specs you have there are better than my Alienware, except for the video card. I think you’ll be fine.
Now you have got to give it time, whenever you make a big change it feels weird and out of place but it’ll pass, just give it time. It wont be long before you get used to it all and get excited about having expanded you universe when it comes to technology and computer graphics.
I hope you enjoy it and ultimately feel good about the change you made.
