Wife wants new laptop for Christmas. She has a Toshiba, about 7 years old, that the screen has gone bonkers on. She uses her laptop a lot... but just for family/personal use. She downloads family photos to a local store for prints. She communicates w/family and friends via e-mail and Facebook. And, she has some cooking sites she frequents. She has never used a spreadsheet, Outlook, etc.... and won't. She is not interested in a tablet or anything that has a virtual keyboard. She wants to stay with her "typing" keyboard. My questions...
What's the difference between a "notebook" and a "laptop"?
We have a local Best Buy. Is that a good place to purchase computers?
Do you recommend purchase of the extended warranties? We've never believed in that, however, neither know anything about fixing a computer.
Seems like most everything now has Windows 8. I'm still using Windows 7 and she is using Windows XP. Is Windows 8 okay? Is the learning curve difficult to move to Windows 8?
Any advice is appreciated!!!!!
