Gee... Visited Staples to get some ink for ye old printer.. Noticed the deal of the week. Came back a few days later (Pay day, still same week) and for 250+ tax walked out with a Toshiba Satellite C55D 4 Gigs Ram, USB 3.0, 500 Gigs of HDD. 15.6 screen (i think) and Widders 8.1. Chromebooks might have saved me a few bucks but the best price I could find at the time on a half gig HD was .. Well 250 bucks with the TOS wrapper.. or 350 for just the drive in a paper wrapper (Shipping box). So I got the cheaper drive.. The half gig drive is doing exactly what I wanted it for (Storing movies) and .. Well the computer was better than free.
