  • Securely emptying the trash did the trick. Thanks everyone! And I feel better knowing WHY it was still running. I hadn't realized that the finder would run it while trying to make a preview of the file in "get info."

  • Thank you for the explanation, FuturePastNow. That helps a lot.

  • I found out that part of the issue is that the Y710 has the previous-generation Intel Core Duo, not the Centrino II that the new MacBookPro has. Lenovo has a Y730 coming out that, equipped like the Y710 I listed, should cost about $1600 (the "Valen…
