200 Today at Wal*mart gets you an HP Stream with very little of anyting.. I do nto recommend it
200 last black Friday got me an 15+ inch HP with 500 Gigs of HD, 4 Gigs of Ram and an Intel Quad Core CPU. Windows 10, This was my early Christmas present to a friend who was complaining her 10 year old DEL was too heavy to lug about (it is) plus the Del is Dying.... She is kind of happy with the new HP.
Frankly My recommendation would depend on the comptuer... But I have one recommendation that I will give.
A very good disc imaging type back up program coupled with Two Or THREE (or more) external hard drives.
Every week, run the back up with one of the drives Rotating drives. Keep one of the drives in your car or Truck, one in your Motor home or Trailer. If you have more than two you can find places for the remaining or double up on the above.
If the worst happens (Some idiot rips off yoru computer, Fire destroys it) you still have all your data from one of the last two weekends backed up in the other vehicle.
Source: My Mother.
She was head of accounting for some companies,, She kept a daily backup of incremental data in her desk drawer.
A weekely backup in the office safe
And a full backup (*monthly*) in a data vault at her house 30 miles away
Theft: The computer and perhaps the daily
Fire, Likely would not destroy contents of safe but if it did there is the home backup"
Explosion might blow the safe but again there is the homne backup.
Thermonuclear bomb, Might get all 3 backups but in that case.. nobody is going to care.
