East central Iowa

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.
