My 7 year old Sony desktop computer is on it's last legs and I was thinking about getting a laptop. I know next to nothing about computers and could use some advice. All I do is surf the net, do email, and watch tv shows online. Maybe a very limited amount of Word documents. What do I NEED to have in terms of speed, memory, etc? My understanding is that I need a good graphics card to watch tv shows online without having skips or pauses in the show but what exactly is "good"? I don't want to spend more than I need to because every dollar I spend is another dollar I need to earn before FIRE. So what are the minimum specs I should be looking for? Brand name recommendations? I'm definetly staying under $1000 even after wireless router, wireless mouse, and anti virus.
