I am looking to replace my old Compaq laptop with Windows vista. It is very slow and the screen is cracked at the hinge area. I have looked at a number of the new ones and tried to understand what all the specs mean. From what I have concluded an Intel I5 chip with 4 gb of ram and 500 g of storage would be good enough for surfing the net,email,and enough storage for pictures. I found a HP Pavilion 15_ab165us at Staples on sale for $ 449. It has an I5 chip 5th generation,6gb ram and a terabite of storage. Does anyone know anything about this laptop? Does the price seem good for what it has in it?
Yes, that laptop is adequate for your needs, and that is a reasonable price.
If you are a Costco member, there is a Dell with the same exact specs for $429. Their concierge service is great for tech support.
I am a member and just went online and saw a Dell for $429 and had 4 gb of ram is that the one you are referring to?
