Best laptop to buy?

What would be a good laptop to buy? Something that's great for surfing the web, music and media, creating files, documents, downloading apps, lots of storage, fast, just a little bit of everything.

so ... a basic laptop?

the cheapest one you can find since they all die eventually anyway

@fallschirmjager: Well if that's a basic laptop, I want one that's more advanced then that.

You can do research on Google ya know.

look in your local ads for cheap laptops: Office depot, Staples, Best buy, etc. If your only looking for a simple laptop its hard to recommend one since there are so many.

Nothing you listed requires "advanced"

Spend 500-600 and you'll be more than fine.

@silversurfer89 I suggest that you (and anyone else who sees this) read the following pages provided below. The information is invaluable.

The oldest one.

Good things come in old packages.

PS: If you took this seriously I will look for you, then I WILL find you, then I will kill you *insert Liam Neeson voice*.

Just buy some cheap sh!t it's not like you're playing the newest games, animation and software development.

A desktop PC. Laptops only last like four years tops.

Just go to a Best Buy and look around.

Sounds like a tablet would suit most of the needs you listed, minus the "lots of storage". But you can buy cloud storage if you want.

@silversurfer89: I recently bought a laptop and asked a similar question on here. I ended up going with a Dell Inspiron 14 5000 with the 4th gen i5. Most places priced it at $699 but I ended up finding one at Staples on sale for $599. I'm more than satisfied with it so far.

Eh just buy a laptop that's around $400 that's what I did and my laptop can actually run games like Skyrim and Black Ops 2, just for the love of god don't buy a ChromeBook or MacBook
