looking to buy a new laptop to replace an all in one computer here at home. Biggest use will be typical home office use, word documents and light spreadsheet work. Would I3 processor with 8MB of RAM be sufficient. Thinking HP or Lenovo, possibly Dell. Any other suggestions?

We use Lenovo laptops at the office. They seem to be good machines. We've had one for close to 8 years and it's still running well.

I think that's what the POS I'm replacing is. Definitely will not buy another one.

Chromebook's have been amazing for me. I have 2 ASUS chromebooks and will buy a 3rd one whenever it's time to upgrade. Most programs are web-based these days so all you really need is a web browser, hence the popularity of the Chromebooks. All they are is a web browser and lcd screen basically. I'm on mine all day everyday with no complaints. Throw in a SD card or thumb drive if you need more space

We got an HP Envy 360 a few months ago. Kinda pricey but it’s a really nice laptop.

Just bought a HP 17" Laptop with 8 GB memory & 1 TB hard drive. Using it for work and home. Considering it pushes Primavera P6 with ease is a winner in my book. Got it @ BJ's for $499.

I would recommend a Surface. Powerful in a small package. Get a tower to hook everything too. Plug and go.

I bought an HP 17 inch Envy last year and love it! It has a backlit full size keyboard which I really like. Whatever you do go with the SSD (solid state drive). It is soooo much faster booting up and accessing files and much more durable (no moving parts). Well worth the extra $.
