I love my new Asus laptop, which is designed for online gaming in particular. Mark, what you really need to do is figure what kind of purposes you'd specifically want, whether it be just a regular computer, a work computer, a gaming computer or some other computer. You know what I mean? Best of luck finding a good new computer and I hope it lasts many years for you.

If you can help it, get a pc. Laptops are annoying as shit to upgrade, I would say a decent one will cost you about 500-600.

brand doesnt matter nearly as much as the stuff inside so what do i want inside then? i don't know shit about computers. i just want a PC with a big screen that will run excel properly without the dumbass Mac shortcuts. i can't use this thing then you really dont need to worry a ton, go for RAM and processor power, for multitasking ability. Dual Core at least, and again, RAM. If you wanna play games on it though thats another story entirely (means you have to look at the graphics card)
