[QUOTE="Surveyor1653, post: 2850303, member: 5197"] I need some recommendations for good laptops that fit the needs of our family, please. We don't game, use CAD, or do anything else that requires ridiculous amounts of data processing or transfer capabilities. We take a lot of digital photos which are transferred via SD to an external hard drive, with occasional light editing. We use Rosetta Stone, including the audio capabilities of the software (headset, etc.). We use Skype. I use SDR# and other radio programs. We use the Office suite to occasionally create documents, spreadsheets and PP presentations with photos & video. I need some recommendations on laptops that don't cost an arm and a leg (sub $750), will do what we need one to do, and which won't die a quick and unexpected death at the end of a short life (as has been our experience). I have no brand loyalty except to ones with a proven and current quality track record. I also have no idea how realistic my budget expectations are, since this and everything else related to the topic are things on which we don't stay current. I know we have a pretty savvy tech presence here and appreciate their input. [/QUOTE]
