My wife is having our 3rd child soon (woohoo) and seeing as she cannot get up and down the stairs (PCs upstairs) she has asked if I could look into picking up a laptop so she can work on her website and get recipes off her site and the like.
I would like to get something with a warranty if possible. On the one side, as her needs aren't really high, a $300 refurb sounds enticing. On the other side a nicer laptop at $600 would be nice.
Most laptops come with the basics these days (DVD, WiFi, etc). Widescreen would be nice, but not necessary. The unit won't travel much, so battery life isn't a concern. A DVD writer would be nice, but not necessary. A "decent" GPU would be a nice little perk (for when I steal it hehe) but not necessary.
So where are the best places to pick up a good Laptio deal? Any specific suggestions/bewares?
