my mom is looking for a laptop or netbook to take to work and able to use at home as well. She will be doing MS office and facebook lol.
What is your maximum budget?
$400
What country are you in?
USA
What will be the uses of this laptop?
MS office and web browsing
Do you have brand loyalty or care which brands we select for you?
none
What screen size do you require?
less than 14", smaller is better
What screen resolution do you require?
not sure
Are you looking to buy NEW or would refurbished/recertified/used be okay?
NEW
How long should the battery last? (Under optimal conditions, no movies/games/heavy internet)
2 hours+
What games would you like to play with your laptop? And on what settings?
None
What operating system do you need? (if any)
win 7
Is there a certain style of laptop you want? (aluminum, black, gaming, etc.)
any
How much hard drive space do you need?
128gb+
Do you need any special hardware? (blue ray, webcam, specialty ports, etc.)
none
Is there anything else we need to know?
my mom thinks netbooks are "cute" and is interested in that, but she needs to be able to have multiple office applications running, excel word and outlook at the same time. Im not sure a netbook would handle that well? She doesn't do much web browsing aside from facebook and youtube. no gaming. would like to watch DVD's when on the road, external DVD player is fine.
Also, if can do under $400 with less ram, I can get her an upgrade separately.
