Skotti 2105 Posted December 11, 2013 My grandma wants a laptop. Her budget is 700-1000. Prefer HD resoulution, SSD is a plus, needs CD drive, and 14"+ screen or bigger. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost X 710 Posted December 11, 2013 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834313584 This one seems good, 8GB SSD is not correct i think, the Lenovo website says it's 24GB SSD which sounds more logical. 1 Piero reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joscal 339 Posted December 11, 2013 Hd makes a little sense....but why limit total storage on the laptop? It makes much more sense to get a laptop with a TB hard drive than to have one that boots up a little faster. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BananaPeelz 709 Posted December 11, 2013 />Hd makes a little sense....but why limit total storage on the laptop? It makes much more sense to get a laptop with a TB hard drive than to have one that boots up a little faster.Why would a grandma need a TB of hard drive space? Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think she'll be downloading programs that take up a lot of space. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lvl. 100 Latias 711 Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) I got my Asus gaming laptop for 1,300 with insurance (and its one of the huge motherfucking laptops) so you *can look there Edited December 12, 2013 by Lv. 100 Latias Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skotti 2105 Posted December 12, 2013 lol. I just needa basic laptop that can be somewhat impervious to the dangers of someone computer illiterate. She barely knows windows, anything Linux based is out of the question, and macbooks are too expensive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MOFLSTOMP 899 Posted December 13, 2013 Seriously, I used Ubuntu 10.11 (i think) for Eclipse programming and it was retard-proof. Way more organized than W7 2 1 Gerald, Lvl. 100 Latias and driz reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
