    I'm a big fan of Dell and recommend getting a refurbished one[^].  They come with a full warranty and you can get some amazing deals.  I recommend getting one with Windows 7[^] and an SSD.  Don't worry about the amount of RAM - you can easily add more yourself.  Feel free to email me if you have questions. One more thing - refurbished Dells come with ZERO bloatware - nothing but the OS! /ravi

    Agreed. On a Dell XPS right now. Great build for the money in my opinion. Excellent advice.

      I am thinking of getting a new computer for my wife and I thought I would ask all the experts here if you think that’s a good deal?

      I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended. I am absolutely certain I don't want to live in a world in which you would never be offended. Freedom doesn't mean the absence of things you don't like. Dave

      You're thinking about it all wrong. You give her your old computer and buy yourself a new one. :cool: If you like to tinker and do your own upgrades, these laptops are good. Easily access drive bays, memory, video cards, etc. Customizable backlit keyboard colors, options for really nice screens. My daughter bought a 17" model, pretty big, solid, she really likes it for her designing and programming, she doesn't game. But if you travel much, it's a bit big. You can order them off Amazon also.. Eluktronics[^]

        I bought my wife a Mac on the grounds that I know nothing about them and the questions would stop. It didn't work.

          I just got my wife a Lenovo Yoga. Very nice laptop indeed. 14 inch touch screen monitor. You can flip the screen around and use it like a tablet. (small enough for sitting in bed and working on) If the price aint a thing I'd recommend at least 8gb ram and 256gb SSD. (That should be fine for your wife. CPU go for i5 and up. For OS, Windows 10 Home is pretty standard these days. Otherwise 4gb ram and 1 tb hd will also suffice. RAM and HD can always be upgraded afterwards.
