I need a new laptop, please advise me

[K9Buck]

It must be 17 inches because my eyes are getting worse. Lol.

I only use it for web browsing and I do some very light work using Excell and Word. I like having multiple tabs open and I want it to be fast.

What do you recommend please? Thanks in advance.

If it works for you then buy it.

I recommend that you either buy one or ask santa

After doing a lot of comparing, and also wanting a 17" display, I recently bought this...

Robot Check

If you want to save money, you can find a good selection almost as good as new at most big pawn shops for under $200. As for eyesight, get a $6 pair of reading glasses.

I've had 20/20 vision my whole life until I turned around 45 - 47, realized I'm getting a little farsighted . ( I can read a billboard half a mile away but can't read a normal-sized text message to save my life, and my wife's just the opposite-- she can read the fine print on a prescription bottle but anything over 100 feet away is a blur....but she always wore glasses I'm pretty sure).

But instead of spending hundreds at the eye doctor ( which I probably should have), I tried some dollar store reading glasses and they looked ok & worked just fine.....so I use 1.25 strength for the computer and sometimes if the lighting's dim to see the room, make eye contact etc....but for reading fine print (text msgs, labels...) I step up to 1.50 or 2.00's or higher depending how small..

I use to be able to see through walls!

then age started taking its toll.....

reading glasses are now up to 3.25

Oh and while we're on the subject of lap-dancing, --One word of advice on those magic blue pills for men with
"erectile disfunction" ( or anyone who wants to go all night with a couple ladies you met at the club)....
read the fine print on all of them, over-the-counter or prescription. Or just listen to the commercials...."for sudden loss of vision, see your doctor"....?? Plus a lot is coming from China.

So far I'm 58 and haven't needed any since I quit smoking and drinking especially. A few years ago I was taking them when I was drinking too much to keep the wife happy, but now I just go to the health store and get vitamins and supplements for whatever ails me. ( I quit smoking tobacco 10 years ago and basically haven't been sick since then except for some minor sniffles)
