Amazing what one can get for the money with a Windows system. I got an HP system with a Quad core processor, 8 GB of DRAM, and 2 TB of storage for $429.
AN equivalent Apple system would cost $2000 or more.
Man, that's pretty darn good for under $500.00. My wife didn't need all that much (and needed to spend less money), but she's fine with the new laptop. It's a 15" Toshiba with an OK AMD processor, 4GB of RAM, 500GB hard drive, webcam, optical drive (rare anymore huh?), and it was $259.00.
If Momma is happy, I'm happy, lol.
