Has anyone been looking for laptops and know of any good deals locally? Beckys computer crashed this morning so she's looking to pick up a new one and I haven't been looking into computers for at least 2 years so I'm not up to date on what I should be looking for.

Oh, and she wouldn't be looking for anything crazy - just something on the low end is fine.

Got this in my inbox from Costco. Not sure where this fits in the spectrum of performance but it seemed pretty good to me.

Nash is pretty good at fixing those things.

Thanks for the help guys. She ended up going with one similar to the one you posted x.

The one from Costco looks nice, but it's not available in-store.

Oh, and for $20 we picked up a 2.5" SATA enclosure and popped the hard drive from the old laptop in it - all files were saved! :cheers:
