Ok, have a question for all of you tech types. I know a little about computers, processors, etc. BUT, i've been given the task to pick out a laptop for my parents. It has to be from Walmarts website (bc they get a 10% discount from a friend). The main uses will be browsing the interwebz, managing and monitoring ebay auctions. There have been times i've sat down at their desktop and have seen at least 10-15 windows open....so when i say browse, I mean super browse ;-). lol. Anyway, they want to stay under 500 bucks and needs to have a dvd drive. We'd looked at an hp for under 500 which had good specs but no dvd drive. I use a toshiba with i3 and was hoping I could get them a better/faster processor....the best specs for this pricepoint. Please, Please, Please help me find the best laptop for under 500 bucks!!!! Thanks guys. TR
Also, needs to be 15.6" or bigger screen....
edit:
I don't mind refurb if it is going to give me more for the money. What do you guys think about HP, more specifically....this Refurbished HP Midnight Black 17.3" Envy dv7-7223cl Laptop PC with AMD Quad-Core A8-4500M Accelerated Processor and Windows 8 Operating System
