My first (and only) laptop has lasted me 6 years. It is still functional, but I can’t go on with it any more. The computer doesn’t have Microsoft Office (somehow it stopped updating) and has become increasingly slow. Now, I use it as a very bulky, very slow version of a netbook – only good for web browsing.
Looks like I can’t hold off getting a new computer.
I would like something less than $800 (preferably around $700 if that’s possible), with MS Office functionality (so a netbook is out), relatively portable and reliable, with a decent battery life (4-5+ hours). My first laptop cost my ~$880 six years ago… so it’ll be a trip to see how much more I can get for my money now, thanks to the continually decreasing cost of technology.
My 6-year old computer is a Compaq (do they even make those anymore?) and since it’s lasted me this long, I don’t mind looking at HPs/Compaqs again.
Anyone have suggestions? Is my price point realistic?
