   Hello Nick,   
      
    AA>> the plan is to retire it and use it as a Spotify server for the   
    AA>> house. I could always control it from the network with another instance   
    AA>> of Spotify, VNC, or even an external monitor if I must. So the laptop   
      
    NA> I'm not the biggest fan of streaming-music sites, I already have an   
    NA> elaborate  collection of music as it is, but I do like XM radio.   
      
   I did *not* think I would ever stay with my Spotify subscription.  At first,   
   it was a free 3-months for $0.99.  Then I decided, I'll just stay for a 3 more   
   months and still be paying less cumulatively than the typical $10/mo for the   
   same period.     
      
   But when I learned that it has an off-line mode, I was sold. That is ideal for   
   me since I don't have unlimited internet at home.  I can "store" the tunes and   
   paylists on the device, and take the device home to play.  If I want new   
   tunes, I just have to take the device where I can have unlimited internet.   
      
   It is really quite nice to audition the full pieces of a newly discovered   
   artist or album.  Even looking up old material is very handy.   
      
      
    NA> No customer ever listened to my suggestion of opening a wide-screen   
    NA> laptop from the middle and not the sides.   
      
   ..or opening with both hands at the sides is ok.    
      
      
    AA>> I am still debating whether I should accept the Win10 on the T540p or   
    AA>> send it back. There is one sticky/noisy key on the keyboard that is   
    AA>> probably going to help me make up my mind and request an RMA.   
      
    NA> One key that doesnt work on a keyboard would be enough to drive me nuts   
    NA> but  thats my OCD-personality.   
      
   It must be driving me nuts.  I received it on the 7th.  I started the Win10   
   setup that night and got discouraged when it needed an internet connection (I   
   only had my mobile hotspot at home).  Then, exploring the keyboard feel while   
   it was turned off, I noticed the sticky/noisy key. It's the only one that does   
   that!  I haven't touched the computer since.   
      
      
    AA>> ..I could always downgrade to Win10 later! LOL   
      
    NA> I absolutely cannot stand the mess that is Windows 10. Three different   
    NA> interfaces glued together on something that phones-home and likes to tell   
    NA> me  how and when it will update. No thanks.   
      
   I don't want surprises.  I have a set of existing/registered apps that I know   
   will cooperate nicely in Win7, but staying Win10 might cause some favourite   
   apps to break.  I just want to get on with using a computer and not spend time   
   working my way around a new OS before I can get anything done.   
      
   Yep..  An RMA request is in order.  I paid enough for this thing, they may as   
   well get the order right.
