I'm looking for a laptop that is pretty much strictly for writing and under 500 dollars canadian. My tower is located downstairs with the router, and its dark as hell down here during much of the day so headaches from screen glare are not uncommon.
Because I'm from Canada, everything is super bleeding expensive even at the most moderate specs. I've read good things about Lenovo's keyboards, but the cheapest Lenovo I can find that's running intel is stuck down at an i3 with 4 gig of ram.
While I realize I'm just writing on the thing, the ability to multitask is important. When I'm writing, I usually have iTunes open in conjunction with word, a web browser with multiple tabs at once, and some form of notepad. Who knows, maybe I could get by with an i3 and 4 gigs of ram. I just don't want to be waiting ten seconds every time I want to open a folder.
