I'm considering getting my partner a small laptop to replace her very old slow Dell netbook. Key requirements:
- Small screen, in the region of 11 - 13" I guess.
- Good keyboard, she's a PA and types like a manic. Most tablets have poor keyboards.
- Windows - she quite liked W8 with the touch screens, but not a requirement
- SSD disk, doesn't need to be huge, we have other computers where data's stored
- Performance isn't critical. The Dell she has is horribly slow, anything modern will be better
- I think full windows would be better than Windows RT, so I can known install software on it for her
- Decent built in camera, for Skype, which is one of its main uses
- Budget definitely less than $1000.
It's mostly used at home on the sofa or at a table, it's rarely if ever taken out of the house. She's not a huge fan of tablets even with keyboards, we have one already.
I've looked around JB Hifi and nothing jumped out at me. The problem is too much choice online. Finding a small laptop with just an SSD is a bit tricky too. I can take a spinning disk out and clone it, but that would increase the price.
Thoughts appreciated :) NB: I'm out for most of today, I'll answer any follow up questions this evening.
