Computer is DEAD- looking for best laptops??

[Prof_Plum]

I'm not a computer expert by any means but until one chimes in....

With the computer being 5+ years old already and having to replace the HD probably costing you close to $150+ when it's all done (unless you do it yourself), I'd probably look into buying a new laptop. I've been happy with my Lenovo but I know there are plenty of other options available.

In your search for a new comput I'd go to slickdeals.com (or .net) and check to see what's out there currently on sale.

If your n/b is more than about 3 yrs old I wouldn't spend too much on it. I just upgraded from a decent n/b, and still good n/b, because my screen bracket broke and it would have been very expensive to fix (relatively speaking). Good n/b's can be had for around 500-600 .....I can't say I like Windows 10 though..

i been using the HP's forever, maybe its time for a change. Been thinking of a DELL or TOSHIBA.
I still can access my old job invoices thru emails i sent out. I do use photobucket, but not all the time and use the net54 free space albulm.
I been looking since yesterday, not wanting to jump on the 1st one. Trying to get opinions here.
I dont like the touch pad ones on the market, nor the flip 2 in 1's. Just a basic laptop
I have seen some Bussiness types with in 7 still, or should i go with WINdows 10??
I am lookking around the 500+ range it seems, about what i spent last time, near 600.
Anything than using my brothers laptop, but it does work.
I only have a Staples and a SamsClub here, but will visit a nearby BestBuy, as they have more options

@Plum: defintly will look into that site, Thanks guys
