Laptop question

KridesBrideBritt

So, my piece of shit Dell is has maybe 2 months left in it. My dad said he'll get me a refurbished laptop for under $350 but it has to be from Best Buy. What do you guys think of this one? After tax it's $337.

what all do you need your cpu to do?

KridesBrideBritt

What's a cpu? :-S )

Write papers, browse the interwebs, listen to music, watch movies...etc. No gaming.

My dad's probably not going to go for the one on amazon. He has a card with Best Buy.

CPU is not an abbreviation for computer. CPU mean computer processing unit.

It's an individual part of the PC.

um Asus doesnt have CD/DVD Rom.... i would go with the HP unless you want the pink color idk
