Hello I'm looking at buying a laptop but know pretty much nothing about what all the specifications mean. I decided you guys all know a ton about laptops so if I say my needs you could probably recommend a few laptops to look at and some to stay away from.
First off I am18 from Green bay, huge packer fan and joining the Army after school. I know how to use a computer obviously so I am not that dumb compared to my parents, but compared to you guys I am.
Pretty much I had a Acer Aspire 5733z-4851 which was a gift last Christmas. I loved the computer but I think I burned up the hardrive watching movies and downloading music to my I pod. Also played Rome total war and the Sims a few times because I had the CDs laying around.
Anyway my Acer still works but takes forever to do anything so I am thinking of buying a laptop before I go to basic in July.
The main things I use my laptop for are surfing internet( Facebook, Packers forums), watching movies from I tunes and downloading music from I tunes. I did play The Sims when I got bored on my Acer but that's not a concern. I also just do basic homework stuff like word and power point.
Anyway I am just looking for anybody suggestions on laptop and what I should look for so I can have a FAST computer that'll last a long time surfing internet and downloading stuff. I don't want the crappy 300 Acer that lasted a year.
Sorry for being so long but I just need ideas. Thanks a ton guys and girls for any help!
EDIT: Also I hate windows 8, just hate it so don't want that.
