Basically, my wife's dell is finally dying after 5 years. Need a replacement that won't break the bank. $600 is a high estimate, i'd like to go lower if possible. Her current laptop has a 17 inch display and full keyboard so probably maintaining that would be nice. But i'm very open to suggestions if the price is right and laptop is reliable.
Thanks!
