Want to buy laptop...

illinoismommy · 01-20-2010, 09:23 AM

Where should I look? We should have thought of this before Christmas sales but we didn't have the money then. We want a basic laptop-- for using internet, photoshop elements, you tube videos.... thats about it.

Are you looking for a windows or a mac? Mac I would suggest calling apple and getting a refurbished one, they have the same warranty and are a lot cheaper. Windows I would try Walmart or Best Buys sales.

I just bought dh this one for a knock-around laptop - http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...ct_id=12347218 (although I bought it w/a larger hard drive).

Cheap, functional, relatively fast/quiet. And not so expensive that we're scared to let Jaden use it
