He means pull product forward so the shelves appear full. It's also called "blocking" or "facing", but Publix call it leveling. Congrats on the promo, though, Maniak! You'll be in the same department as Moony, though he's been doing more Dairy/Frozen than normal Grocery (which is arguably better).

So I got my new laptop today, and everything about it so far is pretty good other than the issue I'm having with the CPU usage. As soon as I started it up for the first time and got through all of the initial setting up, I could tell that something was wrong right away. After looking through the task manager (where I saw the CPU usage constantly at 100%), I saw that McAffee (or however you spell it), was eating away at it pretty badly. So I just went ahead and uninstalled it, and the CPU usage is much better now.

Although now I need to figure out why Chrome is using so much of it (20%+). Chrome uses less than 5% of the CPU on my other laptop, so I don't know why it's so high on this one. But if I can figure that out and how to get it down, then this laptop should be good to go. Not a perfect start to life with this laptop, but hopefully I can get it worked out so that it's a little better. Well, hopefully I can figure out why Chrome is eating away at it so much right now, otherwise I may have to consider switching to another browser, which I don't really want to do.

I do like how big the keyboard on this laptop is. I actually enjoy using it, where as most laptop keyboards I avoid like the plague. The buttons are much larger than I see on most laptops, so it makes typing a lot easier for me.

My other laptop rarely goes over 50% CPU, and Chrome is normally in the .5-2% range (rarely it'll go up towards 5%, but usually no higher than that).

I looked over on the product page on HSN to see if there were any reviews on there, since people should have been getting their laptops in the last few days, and so far there is only three of them, but all three of them comment on how slow/laggy the computer is, so it appears to not be just me.

Thankfully I have a 30-day return policy for these, so no harm done. I was able to get the laptop, try it out, and determine whether or not it would be good for me. I can just ship them back and not have to worry about it. Shame it turned out to be not so good performance-wise, because I like the look of the laptop itself and as I mentioned earlier, the bigger size of the keyboard is really to my liking.
