I dislike my current laptop and feel it's really struggling now, so looking for a new one. Told I should look at 8G ram(?) Well think that's right.
I've found this one : Lenovo Ideapad 310 Laptop, Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, 1TB, 15.6"
Which possibly fits the bill, but I've never heard of the make.
I'm a trained typist and don't like the touch pad, so need one that has a decent keyboard. Three USB slots if possible and a card reader.
I'm on the internet a lot (as you know LOL ) and have loads of tabs open in my browser.
I've lots of pictures on the hard drive, until I've dealt with them when I transfer to an external hard drive. I don't use PhotoShop, as I don't do enough post-processing to warrant the expense (+ I don't understand well enough how to use it). I do some very basic stuff using Paint.net - which is more my level LOL
I also have quite a few Open Office spreadsheets; my laptop struggles if I have 2 of them open. The main one is a pretty big file (Clements).
A Chromebook was suggested.... but not sure I like the idea at the moment. Perhaps I'm getting too old to lean a new operating system, and not sure I like the idea of my files being in a 'cloud'!
