browntrout57 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I'm looking to purchase a new laptop, and I don't know the first thing about specs on laptops. The main uses are just for general browsing and uploading pictures. I'm also hoping to keep it under $500. Thanks for any suggestions!

In my 15 years of IT, I find raw metric is that you will get 1.5 years of reliable service from a computer for $500 that you spend for a computer that does not move. It is about 1 year of service for a computer that travels for every $500 spent. Of course, this is not entirely accurate. My personal preferences would lean towards an intel processor and a nVidia video card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birchy Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I'd have a look at www.dfsdirect.ca. It's the Dell off-lease stuff.. you should be able to get something decent there in your price range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
