So my sister wants a laptop. I tried to convince her to go the tower route (so I could have some fun and build it), but she won't budge. My experience with laptops isn't much compared to regular desktops/towers. Basically I have looked through quite a few laptops for her that could meet her demands, but again there are people on this forum who have probably had much, much more experience with laptops then me. I asked her to write down her needs on a piece of paper and her budget. So here you go:
Budget: $700 (she can go over but she doesn't want to unless needed)
CRT like screen (believe it is called BrightView where the screen is much clearer)
Widescreen
Silver
DVD-Rom drive is a must
The laptop does not need have all these things, but the more the better. Another thing is that she does do a *little* gaming. My addiction to gaming has started to leak to family members and she occasionally plays some games. However since I realize $700 is pretty budget for a laptop. She doesn't care about high resolution or eye candy, just as long as she can play some of the newer games.
Depending on the recommendations I show her, we can hopefully work one out. All help is appreciated on this. :)
Mods I posted this twice since my thread applies to two forums. If it isn't ok just lock one.
