My wife's ~5 year old crappy Dell Inspiron 1525 has finally toasted. I don't follow anything related to laptop hardware and I just need a cheap < $500 replacement.
She only uses it to surf the net, create an occasional small Word doc, and watch some stuff on the internet (Hulu, etc.). Her only real requirement is at least a 15" screen.
So I found the following on Dell.com and was wondering if you guys had any other suggestions (Asus, Acer, etc.) that fit the <$500 15"+ category. I realize most in this category are going to suck somehow but I am just trying to minimize the suck to $ ratio.
Dell Inspiron 15 $399
Core i3-2370M
4GB Memory
500GB 5400 rpm Hard Drive
Intel HD Graphics HM57
Win 7 Home Premium
Thanks
