need a laptop, help...
Computer guys, I need a really simple laptop that is only going to be used for:
-itunes (tons of music) -pictures -internet Just basic stuff. Nothing fancy with useless programs I'll never use, and I'd love a back-lit keyboard, but maybe that's asking too much. Not really wanting to spend more than 500 bucks. Ideas? |
Look around on www.newegg.com they generally have the best prices.
|
After having to deal with HPs customer service on one of their higher end laptops, just stay away from them unless you want to have a rage enduced brain aneurism.
Toshiba, Lenovo, hell even Acer are decent. Not sure about backlit keyboards but..this is one of the first things that popped up on newegg. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834215325 Solid processor, good ram for a laptop, decent amount of storage for a laptop. |
A good old Dell Inspiron 1545 will do you good. Go on the Dell Outlet page and pick up a refurbished one.
4 gigs of ram, and 2.20ghz dual core will be more than enough for ya. Generally under 500 bucks for a refurb. |

Stay away from Toshiba!!! Mine crapped out after 10 months and had to be sent in for a new hard drive. Three months later it did the same thing and Toshiba CS pretty much said tough luck it's out of warranty. My sister in law also recently had her Toshiba die in less than a year.
I will never own a piece of shit Toshiba again. |
Sorry it took me so long to reply guys. I appreciate the help. I'm going to check out those links and see what I find? My inspiron 15R has seen better days, and I'm wanting a new one to switch everything over before it goes out.
