I was looking for some suggestions on a laptop for my mom. she mainly would use it for for a web-based business so she needs it to work well with photos and document storage. She also needs something that is very user friendly and has a large display screen.

My mom is starting a business at home, and she will be using the computer 24/7, so I need a laptop. What can I do to get enough money for one? I don’t wanna babysit or do any yard work. I can also ask someone for some money and I can pay them back in feburary, but who should I ask? none or my family members can afford, or they won’t give me any money for it. Please help!!!!

P.S. I’m only 13, so I can’t get a job or anything yet.

Im 18 years old now in 11th grade. If you read my other question, my family i live with have hard time with money. My brother never finished 10th grade and he makes roughly 16-17k a year. My mom a little under 18k a year.
Iv never been good in school, Ds and Cs. So i know a good college which impresses people is out of the question haha. But i loveeee computers. I love building it, playing with it, taking it apart, figuring out new things. It just comes natural to me and i was thinking of going to community college to learn more about parts and technical pieces and what not. And my plan was to do a small home business . Buy low end computer, broken, or build, and probably sell it on sites like ebay. Now, I know id have to save to invest in parts or the computers, cause its basically repairing mostly im guessing. But my question is, how well do computers sell now a days? I know computers is a big thing now, but how do i know who needs computers or not? Cause i would only sell maybe 1-3 at a time cause id be a small thing and hopefully grow. Cause id have a job on the side while still living at home with mother. Basically fix the computer and resale to make 50-100+ profit and my saves would slowly build to where i can start selling more computers at a time. (laptops as well) Its not the best plan cause im still researching on how ebay fees work and whats the best way to go about the selling process or what why my plan is. Maybe mainly build computers from scratch.

Tell me your input, criticism, or ideas. I welcome all
If Desktops, itd only be the Cpu

I sam getting a Laptop for either my birthday or for Christmas. My friend has a Gateway Laptop and I really like it. My mom said it wasn’t a top of the line one. She said a Dell is a top of the line one. Will you please give me a few suggestions on some really good types of Laptop computers to get? The price doesn’t matter, I just want the best type of Laptop that will last a while.

My desktop is a college i made on paint of pictures of me and my friends. There’s about 30 pictures on it.. my mom says she thinks that’s why my screen is so slow… i told her if you open up paint and save just a plain white background or have it like mine and save it as your wallpaper, the speed will be the same. Is she right, or am i right? Also, if you have NO background at all (set it as no wallpaper under the desktop properties) will that make it go not as slow? Thanks (:
sorry i didn’t mean business like a work business, i mean busy-ness like how busy it is.

Haha. My mom’s buying me one. For 700 bucks or less. I just don’t know which one to get. I don’t game a lot i just use small things like Audacity and iTunes. Oh and I like using multiple tabs. Something fast. Thanksss (:

I am looking to buy a laptop for my mom, who is 58. She is familar with computers but not tech-savvy at all. Up until 2 years ago she worked on a Mac at her job. She doesn’t need/want anything fancy, nor something that costs an arm and a leg. I was thinking that someone who either was older and had recently bought a laptop or someone who was more knowledgable than I am.

I don’t want an Acer, Everex, EMachine or a Dell. AMD processors are alright, but I would prefer Intel.

Thanks.
