okay.. my mom's cousin left a voicemail asking for advice getting a new computer, and she said I'M NOT GETTING MAC. so she sees me as the go-to-guy for computer advice, but i haven't touched a PC for years. she's like "i don't know if i should get a dell, or a toshiba". how the gently caress am i supposed to know?

so anyone know of a dependable cheap PC she could get these days?

it's fine given the alternatives. i mean it's horrible but it does the job and it's not like there's a stack of less awful choices.

got a thunderbolt -> hdmi cable for my macbook air now. woo! have it connected to my 24" screen.

but, is there a way of making the laptop NOT go into sleep when I close it? but only when the HDMI-thing is connected?

EDIT: oh, and is there a way to make my G400 that I have connected to it scroll like scrolling in windows?

the only one with a good screen has an arm processor but i like my chromebook just fine

it would be nice if there was a no compromises one priced 250-300 that had a good screen keyboard and trackpad with intel and 4gb of ram but even the ones that exist are so much better than windows laptops that for a momputer theyre really easy to recommend

should mention that them being better than a windows laptop is much more an indictment of windows than praise of chromebooks i think id rather have no computer than a windows computer
