(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So I need some advice here, My uncle wants to buy a Laptop/Notebook for about $300-$400 and ask me to find one for him. He didn't give a specific brand but said something not too big and easy to handle/decent. Custom build is out of the question as it's going to go over budget and I don't have the tools for it anymore. Any Help is appreciated Smile

Don't buy something because of the brand, ever. Research the specific parts, look up benchmarks and find out how much you're actually getting for your money. This goes for everything from a Dell to an Alienware.

Lol I know that but I should should've been more clear like the type of company I'm dealing with. Last time I brought from best buy They tried to rip me off, Dell has a decent protection plan and return policy, idk about HP, Newegg varies.

3-400 mark, thats going to be an Acer. They make excellent entry level laptops. With excellent long lasting batteries. Like this old clunker of mine I am using this very moment has a chilling 11hour battery and cost me about 300.
