Laptop Buying -- Help!
I live in the USA & need to buy a laptop for Home Entertainment use. I want to stream TV/movies, download music/movies/books, no gaming except silly games like on Facebook, run several aps at once. My budget is a max of $800. I was at Best Buy yesterday & saw this Asus for $629.99. Also, I saw this Toshiba Satellite for $679.99: I know just enough about computers to get me into trouble, so I'm asking for your help. Will this be a fast and reliable computer? Is it a good bang for my buck? Could I do better?



I'm so frustrated trying to shop for a new laptop, I just feel like pulling my hair out! Thanks in advance for your help!
