So I'm considering breaking down and buying a laptop for personal use, mostly because I'm about to break my third laptop in a year and work may start getting annoyed with me soon. Believe it or not, I don't actually know that much about computers - I haven't bought one since 1998. I've always used what the company gave me. I've only ever bought Compaq's, and I was happy enough with them, but they are more expensive.
I don't want to spend much more than $400. I need it to surf the internet, download music/manage iTunes (all music stored on external hard drive), write, IM, & minor photo editing (mostly in the 'rotate and lighten' arenas).
Does anyone know about Acer? ASUS? eMachines? Velocity?
Anyone familiar with Frys: Have you ever bought anything refurbished, and how did that work out?
Those of you with the mini-laptops - do you like them? will they do all the things I want to?
Thanks in advance!
