What brand is best for writing stories and chatting? (see details)
I am 15, female, within a budget, do very limited gaming with a TON of homework. I use an emac desktop, whick isn't the best for me right now, suggestions?
There really isn't a brand that can't handle the work you will be doing.
I would probably stick with a 15" screen, the price for a basic unit is lower with the 15" screens, and any of the lower priced HP, ACER, Toshiba, Dell or Sony laptops will work. I would make sure that the system also has a built in card reader, I've seen a few lower priced systems that don't have these and while you can still purchase a card reader it is a real convenience to have one built in.
