Okay Guys, not sure if this is the right forum to ask this, but here goes . I'm computer challenged and I have been putting off for a long time getting a lap top to replace my old Dell, one that I can use both at home and in the FWC. I can find my way around the back country with a map and compass and survive, maybe even fix my truck if it breaks down, or probably get it "Unstuck" in i find the wrong mud hole, but I'm not sure what type of LT I should get or what I really need. I know this is not a simple question and involves sat. dishes and other technology that I'm not to up on, but with my Windows XP (SP3) being replaced by Windows 8(?), an now no Windows support anymore, so this might be that time to make the move to that duel purpose LT. I'm on Mozella- which keeps crashing allot of late, maybe it time for a change there too!
So here is the question, what is my next step ? I want to be able to do all the usual internet stuff both at home and out when I'm "Wandering the West" an d have all my usual photo shop and mapping programs. Not much knowledge of smart phones and the such,and my cell phone is AT&T. I have a potable direct TV sat dish now that I use to watch my 49ers with and can use that to get internet if i need to. It seems my Dell is to old to change to the new system (not even real sure about that-but it keeps bumping down to go buy a new pc) , and when I check out what to do it sends me a lot of nice pictures of cheap-to not cheap LTs and PCs to get, and they are really cheap compared to when I bought my present one, so I guess that would be a good place to start, will a nice $300.00or so, Lap top do what I need it to do? Any help would be appreciated!
