I've broken the screen on my PC laptop, and since the cost to repair/replace could be at least half the cost of a new laptop, I'm thinking of replacing it. I've never used a mac, and I don't need the stress of learning a new system at the moment lots going on right now.
We do photo editing, and bookkeeping for our business on this laptop. I also need advice on how to transfer the data and all my photo files -- at least a couple of thousand images. Used Alohabob once, and I do want to move everything, so that might work again. Problem -- can't see the screen -- can I attach an auxillary screen to the laptop? It's an avaretec.

I made a couple of posts in response to a similar question, on the thread COMPUTER HELP-Looking to buy a laptop computer..
Here's copies of what I posted. See this thread for more discussion.
The brand that DiscountLaptops sells the most of is Sager, which is little known. They are a major manufacturer of high end gaming laptops under other brand names, such as Alienware.
So I'd go to the DiscountLaptops site and choose based on features and price.
But in cases like this, where I don't know just what I want, a place such as DiscountLaptops.com is better, since it guides one to good choices.
