Recommend me a laptop for under $350

Post by Mike » Sat May 10, 2014 9:49 pm

Need a new laptop. Something used for mainly internet playing. Would like to have decent battery life and possibly backlit keyboard. Windows I guess would be good. Not sure what else is important. Right now walmart seems to be the best options.

Win 7 or Win 8?
There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

Well if it's new, your gonna be hard pressed to find anything that doesn't have windows 8. Windows 7 has went by the wayside. You mentioned something used, it's gonna have shit battery life.

In a retail store yes W8 is about all you'll find, but order off some place like Newegg.com and buying a NIB win 7 notebook is no problem. I'm typing on a brand new Win 7 notebook right now. Dell, Acer, Lenovo and others are still pumping out w7 machines.

He mentioned Walmart so yeah. That's why I made that comment. Newegg is pretty good. I got the parts for several of my desktops and my current server there. Awesome place to do business. I actually had gotten a VGA card that was DOA. They replaced it with no questions asked. Great company.

MacBook Pro for the ultimate in porn surfing without as many worries about virus and spyware.... But then there is the apple tax

Plus many w8 machines have a downgrade license.

Acer has served me well for many years and HP has not failed me yet but it's only been a year. Go acer I guess is my opinion.
A cop stopped me on the street and said "we're looking for a mugger who fits your description" , so I said "okay I'll do it".
