Help me buy a new laptop!

ChillyWillyChillyWilly Registered User regular
I'm in the market for a new laptop and I need your help, forums. I'm not a tech guy by any means and I have no idea about computers.

That's where you fine folks come in.

- Will be used for online school and internet access, mostly. I don't need a high end gaming rig.
- Built in webcam
- Disc drive
- Built in wi-fi
- Under $500, if possible

    Those are pretty broad categories, with those limitations you might as well go to Newegg and just look at the reviews:

    What i'd do:
    Newegg -> all laptops and notebooks -> sort by under 500 (left side of screen) -> sort by "Most Reviews" -> Look for the laptop with the largest number of 4 star reviews,

    I think I have to point out that Newegg's review scale goes up to 5 stars.

    Typically with Newegg you want to go for the reviews that have hundreds of 4 stars rather than 30 5 stars since you will have a better baseline of what is good and bad from the reviews.
