Hey all -
So I recently build a pretty sweet rig for gaming and class work (comp sci major)..gtx 670, ssd, intel i5 3570k ivy bridge 3.4 ghz, 8 gb ram..
However, in the mean time my laptop has crapped out on me.. battery completely dead, frequent crashes.. anyways I could replace the battery and reload the OS but the the laptops old and I don't think its even worth shelling out the ~60-80 $$$ to replace the battery when the laptop probably isnt worth more than $300.
That being said I could use a laptop for doing homework in class
and just the mobility of it. I'm only looking for something that has a respectable battery length and can run word/itunes/email/some programming (not cad or anything heavy). I don't need a ton of storage on it either. As I have my desktop I am not intending to game on it or anything.
I thinking a loose budget of around $400. Probably most important is the battery length. I don't need windows 8 so if I can get a better deal w/ windows 7 I would definitely jump at that. Will I find some good deals on black friday/cyber monday? Does anyone have some suggestions for what to look at? Previous laptop was an asus.
Thanks!!
