Buying a laptop

Post by Seaking »

Ok I've been doing research on getting she who must be obeyed a laptop for xmas. There are
so many to choose from.
My question is.......from the top brands which maker to go with.....
Toshiba ( I've been told this is the best by one guy)
HP
Sony
Lenovo
It will have at least a 15.6 or 16in screen only really for her email and looking at pics etc. I've
seen quite a few now I have my eye on, but here there are all the techy gurus.......
Any advice would be appreciated.
