Yes agreed modern thin laptops can't use sockets.

The L675 I bought in 2011 I wanna say, when I landed in Canada
my first Laptop, my desktop was in transit from the UK and had to wait nearly 3-6 months before it landed with the rest of my possesions.
So I needed something

I think at the time, is was on sale so it was not a new line but on it's way out and as you know Tosh, no longer make laptops !

And LOL, that quote as you can see was from Lups. When I saw her post that up, I busted out laughing and had to make it my signature.
