mrhobbz Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Should do just fine. That 8400 should also do ok with some basic games too. For something to browse the web/email/etc with that APU chip will do more than well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All she does online is emails, facebook, and occasional skype with my sister in another state. Neither of us have used windows 8 but I hear it's really not that different?

Rally Pat Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Literally any turd you find on the shelf at any store nowadays will get the job done for 97% of people, you really can't go wrong with whatever you find. If you want to spend a little less money, hit up Micro Center and see what they have. I bought my mom the cheapest laptop on the shelf a couple of years ago, it was a $250 E-Machines turd. It's still going strong for what my mom uses it for, which is checking facebook and watching youtube videos basically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everlight44 Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Seems pretty nice to me. Only thing is more RAM is always better, but 4gb is probably OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 meh... junk... 3 cell battery, windows 8.1 with no touch screen... she will complain about battery life and frustration with using the tile function of Windows 8 with no touch screen capacity... If you buy it, load Windows 7 on it and get rid of that POS that Microsoft calls Windows 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's quite happy with it. Just needs to learn some tricks using windows 8. She couldn't get use to the no start button thing so I installed shell which changed it to be more like windows 7 and she's happy as can be lol. There was a couple cheaper than this one but she didn't care much for them Seems pretty nice to me. Only thing is more RAM is always better, but 4gb is probably OK.She's going from an old p4 with 2 GB of RAM and xp to this. Huge improvement for her. meh... junk... 3 cell battery, windows 8.1 with no touch screen... she will complain about battery life and frustration with using the tile function of Windows 8 with no touch screen capacity...
