If this ad is up it is still available Story Time: I am selling since I won 2 ebay auctioned laptops (the other was a 14" Lenovo Ideapad 5 Pro 5600U + 16 GB ram + 512 SSD) in January 2023. I only wanted to keep 1 and bought 2 in a Battle Royale to keep the best one.

Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Teams, Access, Publisher. All Adblock Bonus: Firefox loaded is with adblocking software and tampermonkey scripts so you can go to News Websites and watch Youtube ad-free. All Fun Bonus: I put in the stress reducing therapeutic game, Stardew Valley with 587 modifications on it (newest version 1.5.6). Excellent game and the mods make it ~3000% better! I put in 20+ hours of my time trying to get, organize, install the mods to work with each other to provide a stellar gaming experience. And if you have played Stardew Valley before, it is like playing an entirely different, yet familiar, game with all these modifications. Takes 3 minutes to start up the game, takes 8 minutes to create a game, and 8 minutes to load a game. If you play without mods it takes seconds for all 3 tasks.
