Hey guys-
I'm looking at getting a new laptop for my fiance for Christmas and I have no idea what to buy. I'm not tech savvy at all and have no idea what I'm looking for in a good laptop.
Specifications/usage:
-The only thing she really requested was a 14" screen. She has a 15.4" now and wants to go a little smaller (yes, I realize this sentence sounds dirty )
- She only uses her current laptop for word documents (microsoft word) and internet browsing. She isn't a gamer. She is working on her master's in nursing and it has lots of papers and projects, so maybe would need a decent harddrive storage.
-She absolutely does not want an HP. That is what she has now and it's crashed on her 4 times in 5 years.
I have no idea what brands are good and which are to be avoided, how much ram she would need, what processor, etc. I have a toshiba and it's been fine.
My budget is around $500. I can go as high as $700 but I'd really like to stay around $500 if possible. If you guys with tech experience can chime in, it would be much appreciated!
