Help! Need laptop for Mom! - Page 3

post #21 of 23
can you tell us what was the previous model she used?
I'm asking in order to know which screen quality she used to. That's main issue with drawing, no?

I would recommend an external HD too, but that can be bought later, don't bother now.
There are laptops with 2HDD bays, but two things:
1. as said before, you can place the SSD instead of the DVD
2. You can use an mSSD instead of 2.5" SSD.

What programs does she use?

For the purpose of this discussion, IBM = Lenovo. IBM hasn't made any laptops since 2005 when Lenovo purchased their PC division.
