I'd get a business Dell or an Asus laptop. I'd also get Windows 7. Some will argue that 8 or 8.1 is faster booting. Big deal, even if it were 100% true once the computer is running you will be at home with the way it works with 7. Not something you can always say with 8 or 8.1. I cannot find any reason for the average user to get version 8.1 or 8 over 7. For that matter if all you do is use one program, email and browse the web XP is fine. Yes I know Microsoft isn't updating it anymore. So, install a good firewall, a top notch antivirus and use a router. Stay off the porn sites, the warez sites, don't open emails from people you don't know and don't click on links in emails from people you do know. |
