TTIS - Computer help needed. My wife needs a new laptop. She doesn't want to go Apple again (she had problems with her macbook and doesn't want to

spend Apple type money on a new one). She'd like something smaller and lighter (ultrabookish, but less costly than most of those). In thinking about this, I'm not sure I really know what the difference is between brands when they all run the same processors (at least what we're looking at), same operating system, etc. Other than differences in HD size and RAM, and then value for the money, does it matter? I will link below the 3 we're looking at. I'd appreciate thoughts on them or other recommendations. Also, are there issues transferring data from her macbook to a new pc?

Thanks.

I'm a big fan of HP. They are a bit heavier than most laptops so that may be a problem for your wife. -- nm - David Aug 16, 08:59
