Title pretty much says it, but I will add a little more info.

Haven't needed to buy one for a very long time, ipads and work laptops have sufficed, but no longer.

Won't be playing any heavy duty games, doesn't need a ton of storage, would like for it to be a "normal" size for typing and work purposes...etc.

Pretty much looking for something that I can work from home with, put all of our pictures on, and wife can do whatever she does on pinterest or whatever the hell that thing is called.  I have owned HP and Dell, but don't have any brand preference.  Would like to spend as little as possible, and still get a decent machine....and no, I don't want to buy a mac.

 

Thanks

for what you want honestly a Mac would be perfect, they last a really long time and generally you get great customer service if your in the area of an apple store. 

but if you don't want a Mac, I would suggest a cheaper gaming laptop. I got my Lenovo ideapad for around ~800 dollars on a sale and it works FANTASTIC

my advice is stick with either A-8 or i5 and above.  Dont cheap out if you plan on keeping this for awhile.  Look for laptops that have ssd drives which will cut load times and make your laptop run faster.  You can tell by the drive size 128gb, 256gb (ssd) vs 120gb, 250gb (non ssd).  Once you have a few laptops in mind. I would suggest purchasing it from an online site such as newegg to save tax.  Otherwise if the place you get it from offers a squaretrade warranty get it.  You can also purchase the warranty separately from squaretrades website. Also look for dell refurb coupn codes.  They normally have 40-50% off their refurbished laptops.  You can get a really good laptop for about what you would pay for a crappy one locally.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
