14. Please tell us any additional information if needed: Looking to replace my wife's laptop, a Dell Inspiron 1500 that is about 4-5 years old. Used for mostly web-based business use, with some light photo editing work done from time to time. Prefer to find something with an SSD for speed & weight savings, but am not sure if I'm putting too much stock into that as my primary spec in what I've been looking at online so far. Mainly looking for something that boots quickly, runs smoothly, weighs less than the Inspiron. Probably don't require a ton of storage as we archive a lot of files to flash drives periodically - the biggest thing on her hard drive are going to be 2-3gb photos. We do a lot of cloud storage now as well, so that takes a lot of previously required storage space down. I'm all for a refurb/open box/outlet type deal, but I'm not finding too much in the price range with a little larger screen (14+ inches). I'd totally consider a Chromebook, but our office's printer service technician told me that they haven't been able to get one to jive with the accounting software we use when we're in the office.
