I save lots of pictures (.pdf, .tiff. jng) from my iphone to my laptop. Currently I have used 100 GB of my 225 GB Dell laptop that we got 5 yrs ago. I don't do any gaming & don't want to. Weight is important, current laptop weighs 2.2 lbs.; I'm willing to go to 3 lbs. Backlighting is VERY important. Battery life not so important. Chromebooks look interesting but I tried a MAC years ago & could never adjust to it so went back to WINDOWS. Thanks for any recommendations.
Most important to me, in the last 2 laptops I bought, is that it has a touchscreen! Best feature ever to save keystrokes and time! I wouldn't get one without it. You don't need to use the touchscreen exclusively, but it is so much easier to click on the screen like I do on my smartphone. Shop now for Black Friday deals.
