Thinking about a new computer

[Homer1]

It's sort of Toshiba's way to compete with the Mac Air, super slim and light = no DVD drive.

We have a Toshiba Laptop we bought a few years ago. My wife hates it, mainly because of Windows 8, but I paid 3 bucks to get her desktop back and get her a start button, all she cared about. With the windows 10 upgrade free we may upgrade her computer to that, which comes with a normal desktop setup and start menu.

I don't really have any complaints for our Toshiba, but I know in the past they had some issues with screens going bad, however in almost every case I heard of that happening, it was replaced by Toshiba.

My wife's is a cheaper version, and about 3 years old now. It was about 500 OTD from Best Buy at the time. I don't like the way her keyboard feels, it's almost thin plastic and I feel like I'm going to break it all the time. My HP laptop feels much stronger in that department.

However, I give them credit, they stand behind their product. Should be a great investment.

Not having a DVD drive doesn't really bother me because we have two other lap tops, a Toshiba and an HP that have the DVD drives and if I want to save anything I'll just do from one of those to this one. I have to admit that this computer is a lot more computer than I need or will probably ever use but for the price I really couldn't see going any other way. The windows 10 so far is and has been great.
