....stil have something similar in use:
brand: Packard-Bell Easy Note TSX-62-HR
hardware: i5, nVidia GT540M, intel integrated gaphics, 4GB RAM, Win7, HDD only (no SSD), 15,7 inch Monitor
I'm still using this laptop for average/home tasks and software tests. But i must say: the performance of a laptop/PC without a SSD is horrible..... unfortunately there is no possibility to equip this laptop with a SSD... therefore i'm mostly using my both gamng laptops for all tasks: both have an SSD (mSATA, m.2). I've been using this Packard-Bell several years ago as desktop replacement, had
no problems with this machine and it's still running fine....
