    I hate shopping for laptops...

    There are so many different laptops out there, how am I suppose to know what's good?...and I'm in IT! I've been looking at some 11" laptops like HP, Asus and Acer and have read reviews about them being "slow" right out of the box.

    I went out of my price range and was looking at some 15" and still wonder what's good. Should I consider anything with 4Gb RAM?

    This is the latest one I'm looking at but I'm wondering if I'd be satisfied with the same laptop but with 4Gb of ram and an AMD proc to save about 100 bucks. It's for the wife and the last thing she wants is something slow. Daily tasks would be filling out TREC forms, uploading photos from an SD card and surfing the MLS looking at house photos. The must have is the integrated key pad and touch screen.

            If you are just looking for basic daily use (non-gaming):

            Craigslist, I5 Processor, Win7 64-bit, 8 GB RAM

            This doesn't look bad...

              I definitely like this price. I'll see what the wife thinks but I'll probably stick with Windows 8, which I can get but that means needing touch screen.

              Seems like a good deal but since this will be a gift, although late, I need new.

              Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

                Just bought this one the other day on sale! seemed like a good deal, even though it does have win8 :/ I can deal with it for the price

                edit*no touch screen, though they had some @ microcenter with touch screen with similar specs for around the same price
