I was having a look at a co-worker's laptop and it appears the hard drive is dead. It's a few years old and he wants a new one anyways.
Anyways, why I need some help is that he needs to get a new laptop for his kid before he leaves on Wednesday so he wants to buy one tomorrow. He will basically buy whatever I tell him to. I haven't researched laptops lately so I want to make sure I recommend something good.
Here is what you need to know:
Price range $400-$600
It won't be used for gaming, just watching videos, streaming media, internet, e-mail, etc. etc. So I'm thinking something with good integrated graphics or a mediocre stand alone graphics card would be fine, decent processor, windows 7, and 2GB or more of ram.
15.6" is probably the ideal size.
I am going to be looking too, but any suggestions would be appreciated if any good deals have caught anyone's eye lately.
Thanks in advance!
