Laptop for writing and editing

[techamat]

Can someone suggest which laptop I should get? I will use it mostly for writing and editing Word documents and pdfs. I'll also be using Excel spreadsheets and possibly using photoshop for some brochures.

A cheap one is all you need. eg http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834313724 $500 i5/hd4600, 13in 1366x768, 4gb ram, 500gbhdd

Thanks. Will it be sufficient for video conferencing as well? I haven't had to use Skype in awhile, but I have heard that it uses a lot of memory

Yep - it'll be fine.

Just don't expect real good heavy game playing or video editing. It's OK for simple jobs only.
