Computer is DEAD- looking for best laptops??

Flash storage is a newer thing. It's called an SSD, solid state drive. It's the combination of 4-8 drives that run in congruence with one another. Much more efficient than a lunky single HD, much faster. SSD is the future.

Sounds like for your purposes id go with a 256 or 500 GB SSD if you can, maybe 2.4ghz (i3 or i5) or faster, 8-12 RAM and you'll be sitting pretty.

New does come with the warranty per se but you can add apple care to any device even used.

Refurbished isn't bad either, eBay still may be your best bang for the buck, just be thorough and good luck!!!

I STOLE THIS ONE!!!

I went to Staples and all I saw was Windows10...so I asked the tech guy for Windows 8 stuff and he took and browsed on their store computer.
I found one: 15.6" for 629.99 (retail 679.99)
It s the HP 15-ab065us
Look this BABY UP--it has i5 intel 2.2 ghz , 1TB hard drive, 6144MB ddr3 sdram, windows 8.1

BABY was stored in the back and on top marked 'CLEARANCE' because they only display Win10's.
I got this one for 299.99 and it came with a 50$ rebate.
I was OMG!! 250 bucks

To make my day better, I sold my 48 Leaf Jackie today.

Congrats, Chris! Great deal.

I bought myself an HP ProBook 450 G1 about two years ago from New Egg, and got 1/3 off of the $800 + system. I love it. It's a real powerhouse. Every few months, I back up my files to my external HD, and restore it to factory settings.

This one use that Cloud One Drive Storage, so next time, I wont lose anything I guess.
The other day, I went and got Microsoft Office 2016, which cost like 160, but atleast its NOt a 1yr subscription. And I was able to switch my Kaspersky over from my old one.
I love it, Its so much quicker, not sure if I love the Apps thingy as much.
Everything is a new experience.
