    Taking a chance on a refurb'd HP g7-2233cl thru Walmart, $398. 17", A8-4500m, 6Gb, 640Gb HDD, Win8. Will be swapping out the 640Gb HDD for a 360Gb SSD (Corsair Force GS).
    Read recently that almost 2/3rd's of recent laptop returns are not from hardware issues but just because the average user didn't like Win8 and just returned the laptop. I will try using the Start8 add-on but may just throw a copy of Win 7 on it.
