Need Help Purchasing A Laptop

Our laptop is done and I'm looking for a new one. We pretty much only use it for going on line, email, and would probably want some form of Microsoft windows. What would be a cheap laptop with a decent size screen for this tyoe of use?

Take a look at Dell outlet. They have great, cheap deals.

Dell or HP - cheap and reliable. If you wanted to spend a little more for a rock-solid laptop, Lenovo.

Also check Newegg.com - Computer Parts, Laptops, Electronics, and More! (http://www.newegg.com) for reviews and good deals.

Take a look at Asus, great Laptops, reliable, won't set you back, and with Office do you use Outlook or no??

the most reliable are sager from powernotebooks.com

if you want something for 300-500, just get an i3 and be done with it. check techbargains.com for a good deal. staples/office depot/best buy have a good deal through there every now and then.

if you need a case or cables, go to newegg.com or microcenter (brick and mortar) if you live close to one. (on nutley st. in virginia).

the i3 i posted above is all you need, and they're doing a lot better as far as the amount of stupid crap they put on the thing.

BIG HINT: when you go to the store to pick it up
-- YOU DO NOT NEED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY
-- YOU DO NOT NEED A COPY OF McAFFEE
-- YOU DO NOT NEED CABLES OR ACCESSORRIES

they try to upsell you them 3 or 4 times, just be confident and don't agree to extras.

My biggest tip is to make sure you have as much RAM as possible. Also, Windows 8 is a little bit annoying if you're not using a tablet, so I might recommend going with something Windows 7.

Beyond that, just buy whatever feels the best and has the best price.

3 year on-site repair is always a good option to have when getting a laptop.

What about a Tablet? go intro, quick tablet?
