What is a suitable laptop for me?

Question

Details: I'm going into 8th grade and I want a laptop to do work and play.

Needs: Programs such as Word and Powerpoint. (I realize I would need to download such things.) Internet connection is also a "must have". Anything that involves school work.

Would Likes: A built in webcam. (Amount of mega pixals aren't a must have type of thing.)

Optional/Probably won't buy if it doesn't have this: An AIM instant messaging system. (I also realize that I would need to download this if it's not an Apple/Mac computer.)

Remember, I'm not made of money in 8th grade, so it MUST be affordable. Ahough not cheap, it much be at least $500.00.

Thank you so much for your help!

Answer 1

I would recommend an Acer Aspire, because it has a built in webcam, many are around the preferred $500 range, and they are fast and reliable.

Answer 2

If you are looking for a price around that range go to BJ's or Costco although a more expensive computer from apple or dell would probably get you more use out of it
