NDR - laptops

I have had good luck with Tosiba's.... Just make sure it has an Intel processer. I think my last one was $250-$300.
 
I bought a Dell a short time ago for the family use for $350 delivered straight from Dell. I do not know what office costs anymore.

My company has an agreement with Dell and I get special pricing. If you see anything you like and want to see what the price would be through our purchasing discount let me know.

I don't know much about other brands,
 
Same here, Toshiba or Dell.

All we use at work is Dell. I have one with a solid state hard drive, would never go back to a spinning disk drive.
Get one with as many USB ports as you can. And a HDMI port too.
 
Same as Carl. I use a dell latitude 7250. More money but blazing fast. Had good luck with several other Dell models in the past. Susan's Toshiba has also been great.
 
John, all of my family members, except Steve, have entry level Acers. We have no complaints. (Easy to repair too- see below ;-) ). Obviously, they don't have all of the bells and whistles, but I don't think any of them were much over $500 either.

don't have recommendations for you, but if you haven't tried out the new Windows Operating systems, you might want to. Windows 8 is not very user friendly IMO and is down right a PITA...the LITTLE that I've messed with 10 it's an improvement over 8 but still aggravating. So, if you haven't had to mess with any of the new operating systems I might suggest going to a big box store and messing around with some of the computers that might have windows 7 (I know 7 isn't very new but it might be new to you if you have an older computer), 8 and 10. Just a thought....

I just bought a new laptop. I have had several Toshiba's and they have been good for an off the shelf pc and pretty rugged. This time I ordered a Dell Latitude because I use it for my business and wanted to customize it with certain hardware features. I wanted the latest chip(Intel I7). You want to get 8 GB of Ram these days, you will need it and it is cheap and probably more important than getting a giant hard drive unless you keep lots of video. I have Windows 10 on that machine and on a desktop(that was upgraded from 7). It is new and different but is a good operating system and is easy to learn. If you use Office and are only using it when connected to the internet, then 365, which I have on my desktop and is at home, is a good option. It is around $60 per year and comes with a terrabyte of storage on One Drive, which is pretty cool and gives you access to whatever you store there(in my case, pretty much everything) on any of your devices, and it is also a redundant cloud back up for me. I bought Office 2016 on my laptop because I want to be able to use it even if I am not connected to the internet. If I was buying a home machine, I would look for something around $6-800 and get the fastest chip I could, I think you can find one with an I5 at that price range. Your battery time can also be important, you probably want to look into that. I like to get around 4 years out of them, so in my case and because it's primary purpose is business, I spent more money to get exactly what I needed instead of making do with what came with it. There are some good hardware suggestions here already, they will be dependent on your budget. Less expensive machines will tend to be heavier. Acer and HP both have nice machines also. And think about if you need a cd drive, my latest does not, another weight saver. I have found I only use the cd drive on my other machines to install software and that is rare anymore. I will buy an external one to have around, but don't need to be lugging it around on the machine. The best thing you can do before you buy is make a list of what you use it for, and take that with you when you go shopping, it will really help you narrow down your choices.
