The wife says we need a second laptop.

@Nimbus You're so very welcome.

@Nimbus I agree I've 2 old Acer Laptops. Originally with Vista on one Win 7 in the other. Both running Win 10 now and must be over 12 years we've had them.

@OldBrit Both of my acers gave up the ghost when their power supplies failed and wouldn't charge their batteries anymore, I got new batteries for them, no dice, they wouldn't juice up.

@scorpiolovedeep She can work from anywhere. We have a motorhome and we enjoy traveling.

Toshiba is my fav brand.
@Musicman

@scorpiolovedeep I have heard good things about them too. 🙂

@MarineBob They say because all she does is write that anything with a solid state hard drive is more than adequate. We have always used HP, but people say good things about Dell too. Should we try a different brand?

@Musicman get local recommendations from local businesses in the area you trust

@4meAndyou A lot of people say good things about Dell.

@Musicman Absolutely! Much easier to type and navigate that way.

@TexChik Okay. Any special brand you like?

@Musicman computer.? All the writers I know prefer a MacBook. The keyboard and mouse are cheap and easy to get. Just plug in the dongle and go !

@NativePortlander1970 Good to know.
