I am in need of a new laptop, ASAP.
The one that I currently have is an '07 HP that needs to go in the trash. Hinges on the screen are loose, the battery is dead so I'm constantly tethered to an outlet and the other day I had it on and sitting on the couch, the dog jumped up, knocked it on the floor and now the keyboard is confused, LOL! (B thinks it's a 2, J thinks it's a p, etc)
So, right now I'm looking for a new laptop. But I am not tech/computer savvy at all.![]()
I have a max budget of $500, but would really like to find something a bit cheaper than that. I just need it for web, email and something that won't blow up/overheat on me while camming. (HD, SM Encoder, etc). If it could handle Photoshop and Windows Movie Maker, that would be awesome but it's not a need right now.
I don't know what computer specs go for what, etc? I've been told to go to best buy and just ask a geek tech but I know I can find better deals on Frys, CompUSA, TigerDirect, Newegg, etc as I'm trying to save $.
Any suggestions on Laptops? Thank you SO much in advance.

Sony is popular as well, but typically overpriced just for the name. Purchase with a Visa or Mastercard and check your benefits - if it fails within 2 years and you have purchase protection, they give you your money back! I've done that with 2 of my laptops so far and it's great!!
It doesn't come w/a cam,but I bought a logitech 9000 that works perfectly. So in all spent about $400(the cam cost about $60 on sale). Don't really see spending all that much just to cam. I'm actually about to buy a mini HP(comes w/cam) for my personal use. A lot of the other ladies may disagree and will probably suggest some great alternatives though
