This is the month --
Dec. 14th, 2011 01:17 pmI'm looking for a new laptop, one I can use as my main computer. I want to be able to plug into it a full sized keyboard and large monitor for extra ease.
It's been suggested that I get a faster dual processor, so I can watch movies through it if my ancient TV suddenly craters. I will want Word, unfortunately, since it's the publishing standard, but I am considering Open Office.
Any suggestions? Warnings? Worthwhile features, brands to avoid?
This will probably be my computer for at least five years, so I need to get it right the first time. It will be a PC, since Apple, even re-manufactured, is pricy.
