If that's incorrect - please point me toward a better forum.) I have the opportunity to get a (refurbished) Lenovo G570 (Core i5, 2x2.4 ghz) for what seems like a very good price. Does anyone have experience with a) this model, b) the G series, or c) Lenovo laptops generally that would bear on my decision? Thanks, Robert Huff
