shawn3090 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Well I am redoing the computers around my house and I already have a good laptop picked out for myself. I need a laptop for my mom now. All she needs it for is running quick books pro 2005 (and maybe the latest one) and minimal browsing, along with avast free AV. I would like:Integrated or discrete gfx to keep costs downCore 2 duo/i3 see above320gb hddlong lasting battery (probably the most important)low priceShe is very computer illiterate, soBig roomy keyboard with numpad and option to turn off touchpadAround 15" screen I will setup the computer for her (set up software/delete crapware) and then she will use it. Also please try to get it at like best buy or something (NOT newegg the cheapest laptop there is wayyyy too high spec/expensive for what I am considering). [hide=Stats][/hide]"One death is a tragedy.

New models will have more features for the same price so that is what i would recommend. (you can see their specs on the buy page because they have most likely changed from my current one.) Stay away from dell. Hypocrite. You tell others to be nice then attempt to murder people. Nice going, you just failed life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unhesitating Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 We had a Dell once. It was a POS. My dad has a Sony laptop, and he loves it. But idk about pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solartide Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 What, you want a long battery life, huge monitor, and huge keyboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn3090 Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 Is 15" really that big? I've seen a 17.5" laptop that lasted ages w/o recharge. Also the battery is the least of my concerns.
