NEW laptop recommendations (Windows)
My trusty laptop (i3, 1.7GHz, 3MB, 6GB DDR3, Win 8.1) is sadly nearing death, probably a combo of it being really old and/or ladened w viruses. Anyway, I'm looking for a NEW Windows laptop for under CAD500/USD365. I'm a basic user, use it to stream movies, watch YT, some spreadsheets, no gaming at all. Any suggestions? Like this one, I'd like to keep it for the longest time and am not keen to upgrade for the latest thing every second. I think this one lasted me about 7 years and so I'm pretty good w maxxing out the life of my stuff. TIA.
EDIT: I'm so out-of-touch w what should be the min or std specs nowadays so if you could bring me up to speed, that would be great. My laptop has a 750gig HDD but I assume that it may have been part of the prb since the computer kept getting stuck at 100% disk usage and I assume they use SSDs now to avoid that prb? I also assume that Win10 is the std now? TX again.
EDIT2: I need something w a keyboard, or at least something that lets me hook up a keyboard to it, in addition to something w a hdmi output to let me show movies/shows on my flatscreen.
