That Asus VivoBook 14 is serious contender. Light, powerful, great sized screen and the keyboard is comfortable.Wife finally decided her Apple iPad doesn't cut it and wants to get a new laptop. I've stuck with a desktop computer through the years so I'm not much help in offering advice.
She'll be using Office 365 (Outlook, Word, Excel), cruising the web (Facebook and such) and for doing her banking and paying assorted bills. Pretty basic.
I'm thinking around $400 would get her what she needs. Any suggestions as to (1) a good laptop and (2) where to purchase it would be appreciated.
This is for real.......

Had three ASUS and had nothing but problems with them.
The only reliable part of my Asus was the power supply I salvaged. Still works just fine, unlike the lemon-laptop that came with it.
