Since this is definitely not my area I'd thought I'd ask you guys. I'm basically looking for a second laptop. The one I have is an old MAC which my wife often steels from me. I already have an other ancient lap top, I think is say "Univac" on it.
OK, I don't need anything fancy, no gaming ect. I use it motley for general stuff, like cruising the 'net, paying bills downloading pictures and some music for my ipod. I'm looking to spend no more then$500, preferably less if I can. I was down at Staples just looking, to get ideas and what lap tops are coming with these days. Anyway I saw a Asus with a 15.6" screen, 8MB ram, 600 gig hard drive a bottom of the line intel2350 I think. A HP and Acer with similar features but 17" screens. The guy at Staples said the Asus was a very good unit for the money. All were $450-500 range. Any opinions on the brands?
I was thinking of checking tigerdirect but heard they have poor customer service and newegg which I here don't have anything great as far as pricing goes. One of the IT guys at work recommended Dell but a little more then what I ant to spend.
