First off thanks to everyone for the help.
My family told me today that they wanted to buy me a laptop as a gift for me. I'm not quite sure what I want but from using some older laptops I do know that I want something that is snappy. In all honesty my main use will be for internet,storing data, and viewing pictures. I do like to play around with photoshop or gimp but I highly doubt that I would use a laptop for this purpose. I would suspect that just about anything new should easily be able to handle my day to day uses. So im considering an intel sec gen i5 but also am considering maybe an amd a6 series.
So my question is with a budget of around 500-600 dollars what good deals are currently available for laptops?
I dont need anything really special but I do want everything to be nice and fast.
