Last week, Vancouver became the first Canadian city to endorse this movement and encourage its citizens to turn to local vegetarian options on Monday’s.  Even though, I’m a meat lover, it’s a commitment I can definitely participate in.  What about you?

Summary
The HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15 is an interesting machine. It is not small, but somehow its thin and light. It is not super expensive but somehow still manages to still pack power and not feel at all cheap. At first glance it is not super fancy, yet it still packs touchscreen functionality. It is a machine that is really full of surprises A lot of things this PC can do I would expect from a machine twice the price. In this price range, other machines will have a few of these features but this one seems to have it all. Big screen, thin and light, good power, and a touchscreen. It a great well rounded machine.
