User Friendly and Reliable Laptops

Mar 21, 2016 12:07PM PDT

Hi Guys:

My wife and I have a question regarding user friendly and reliable laptops. Presently she owns a Toshiba windows 8.1. She has issues with "white screen/freezing"...and not being able to open articles. She's an "end-user" in that she's looking for a computer that performs...and she doesn't want to jump through hoops to use it. Does anyone have any suggestions as to a user friendly reliable laptop? Thanks

I think you have to consider Chromebooks.

These models so far have yet to see a virus, trojan or other issues. They provide basic features that don't push the user into becoming a computer technologist.

Not only less to maintain but less money to buy.
