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.
OfficeMax, Office Depot, etc have the best prices. Look at their weekly sales, they are consistently cheaper than Amazon and Best Buy. Plus if you have a problem they are right down the street. Never buy a reconditioned computer, they returned it for a reason.
