Is this a legit buy?
Can you recommend an 'apples 4 apples' cheaper alternative?
Is the configuration incomplete?
Buy from Ebay?

Primary use will be for basic home computing NO gaming.

Thanks,

If you're not doing any gaming then all these Lenovo laptops would do what you need to do.....

why buy a laptop when you can get so much more for the same money. Remove the second monitor from that link and the cost will be only marginally more than yours...
