Depends what you want to use it for.
@fallon, I got DD a Lonovo laptop for school running Win 8.I was looking into one for me for my photography hobby. Something easy and light to take with.You can use google office for word processing, spreadsheets powerpoint stuff.You can access Gmail or any other web based mail.Picasa has the photography stuff.There are more apps you can use, but it is still limited.Some things do work offline, like google office stuff.But it is still limited. 4951
