Keep an eye on the flyers, and you'll be able to grab something decent for under $500.
It's that time boys and girls. My laptop had an unfortunate incident earlier today and surprisingly is nonfunctional after my fist went through the keyboard.It actually functions well enough, but there's no keyboard and the monitor is having issues, so I figure by the time I get a new keyboard, get a new screen and replace the hard drive I have been wanting to replace with an SSD.... well... I might as well have just bought a new machine. So that's what I'm going to do is buy a new machine.I'm hoping to keep it under $500 mostly because I really don't even have that much to spend, but I really can't be without a computer for any length of time.Any other info not already posted in this thread that I should keep in mind when looking for a new machine?Def
Do you have a Costco nearby? I love their 90-day return policy for electronic stuffs. Not to mention the holiday season is approaching, so more sale and enough time for you to swap machines if you don't like.

If there is, I've never heard of them. Def
just a guess but there's likely to be more hybrid drives now? (part SSD and part traditional platter for storage)
