from what i have heard its alright but not great.. now i have heard some good things on the new google laptops and the price on them is really nice also.

Aren't the google laptops all just netbooks, with no cd drive? If I buy a different laptop I need a cd drive. What's a good brand of laptop, for a cheap price?

Lucky you!!

Is Asus a pretty good brand? HP?

For what you want it for.. I would go ASUS over HP, but when you are in that $300-700 range, its all the same for the most part. You just don't want to overpay for specs and features that aren't going to work properly in that config

If I had a really good laptop and was just wanting something extra, then I would probably go with a netbook

Windows 8 sucks on anything that does not have touchscreen functions in my opinion...

see thats what my desktop is for lol..but when i got my lap top this model was going out so it was about the same price as a netbook.

I've heard a lot of people say they don't like it.

My desktop went to crap!

Awww that sucks.. okay the nitty gritty of windows 8 for a tablet or smart phone it is awesome as it is the microsoft version of android and the iphone for anything that does not have a touch screen its mouse interface has issues... also i have not heard of any add on or application that helps to fix this... as you looking for a cheaper laptop you will definatly not be getting touchscreen so windows 8 will just annoy you.. Microsoft is trying to make people upgrade to touch screen so they came out with this fail .... OS when probably 95% of the population do not have a touch screen moniter in any way shape and form. They should have just stuck with windows 7 for there laptops and desktops.. and only used windows 8 on there phones, laptops with touch screen capabilities, and there tablets. Okay thats my rant for this afternoon now i am gonna take a nap :D cheers

Well, I was fortunate to leave work early today so I can run errands and take care of stuff around the house..grrr

Don't even start .....ing about around the house....grrrr
Mama bears finally picked a paint color out of the myriad of samples sloshed on the walls here and there...I started prepping and decided we are pigs. Our house is filthy. The tops of my cabinets are a disgrace. The fronts are as well, as is the base, trim, doors, floors.....etc...

I have to paint but it may take all week to get these 2 rooms clean enough to paint....

HARUMPH......

Yeah, you are correct.. Jen has one and I am constantly hooking up external drives (DC/DVD. HDD, Flash) to do anything on it.. But that one she takes everywhere for her social media stuff.

Windows 8 is BS at this point.. It will end up like Vista. It's cool for the touch crap, but I threw it on one of my comps and wasn't impressed.. I use 7 ultimate X64 on all of my machines

I love you! Well, I'm still gonna complain just because I actually made it a point to get off of work after the tear down to spend time with Jen.. Her idea of spending time together is me slaving away while she observes, lol.

I thought you already took care of the cabinets and all of that? What color did she decide on?

You geeky computer nerds give me a headache. Grab some beer and come help me clean.
Laptops....phifffft
When I was a kid we had a good chisel and a semi flat rock.....and we were happy to have that.

Damn spoiled brats.

I've got Jameson today.. No beer..

I'm into the tech stuff.. I enjoy it.. Geek I may be..Spoiled, yes!
