One more comment. What else are you using the machine for? Unless it is for work or gaming I do not see what is wrong with almost anything out there. I would make sure that you get at least 128GB of memory and 4 GB or more of RAM. Like was mentioned a 15" or larger screen size is better for us old fogies. Cindy and I both have bottom of the line ASUS machines bought at Walmart. Last week hers died due to a fatal BIOS problem and we replaced it with another identical machine. They work just fine for us.
