I had an asus laptop I had baught refurbished about 3 years ago. At the time, i did a lot of film production, and needed a lot of ram/dual core processor/firewire. For the price I paid back then and the features it had, I pretty much baught it right when i saw it for sale.
However, im pretty sure its shot for good now. I got the hd replaced it fried a couple times. Last time I used it, the charger insulator wire was torn, and when i tried to charge the wire started sparking. I tried my moms netbook charger, and it would charge for 1 second then go off charging for another second, very annoying since the screen kept dimming. Being in a mad mood that day, and there was an annoying highpitched noise that was just starting that day, i hit the keyboard and the computer blacked out.
Eithor way, I figure the charger/repair will be a couple hundred dollars. I have a smart phone I normally use, but its getting pretty annoying on such a small screen. I basically use a computer for:
-r3v for reading, parts, etc.
-stupid internet sites
-email
-guitar pro (a playback guitar tab software)
-music
-possibly online movies
I was wondering if any of these laptops were good options, or which you would recommend:
Sony vaio lifestyle-small, seems to have good battery life. I could use ot easily in my car and bag at school, Just do not know if it could run itunes with a couple hundred songs well, or guitar pro
Any netbook out there- Same deal, like the convience, but needs to have a good battery and be able to stream youtube videos decently and use itunes.
I am only looking to spend 2-400 because I honestly do not really use the computer that much. Its more or less a means to access everything my smart phone can do but easiler, and a slightly bigger screen. Plus, i am just super tired of the radio in my car, and need to get my ipod hooked up with new songs. Please let me know, thanks
