Need a new laptop - FirebirdPhil - 24-08-2019
OK my Lenovo is just about dead now, its giving blue screen of death, 3 of the 4 USB's don't work and the audio jacks have all broken. The thing is 5 years old and has been a work horse PC rarely turned off, but always maintained as well as we could.
So I have looked at current specs of machines and am now well and truly confused. We need a machine that is a max of $500, not for games but is mainly going to be used for word processing, spreadsheets, picture manipulation and streaming video.
this is one I like: http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/790098/Lenovo-IdeaPad-Z570-1024-3VU-Laptop/
Is this a good spec???????? or junk???

Hi mate
I work in IT so Im used to looking at specs.
That laptop looks good to me.
For sub £500 (not sure about $) you should get something along these lines.
Core i3 or i5 dual core processor at 2Ghz or higher
4GB RAM
500GB hard disk
15 to 19 inch screen
B/G/N wifi
Card reader

specs looks alright for a 'home use' laptop. although I'd go for one with a slightly higher screen resolution, doesn't have to be full HD but you'll appreciate the extra pixels when reading text
