I need a computer and I know nothing about buying one.
We are thinking about getting this one. ( http://www.walmart.com/ip/Compaq-15.6-250-GB-CQ61-411wm/13339229 ) I don't need anything fancy, I just need something to be able to attend seminars on. I'm doing online classes and we have live seminars once a week. Would this work? We don't have a lot of money to spend on a super fancy computer right now. We have an older desktop that we just had refurbished and a laptop that has gone to crap after only 3 years. Suggestions?
Re: I need a computer and I know nothing about buying one.
I think Compaq is ok, but not great.
The link says that it is sold out online.
One online source that I highly recommend is Geeks.

I would think the first step to purchasing a computer would be to decide what you will be using it for. Are you strictly a Microsoft Office person? Will you be needing any photo editing software or additional storage? Would you like something portable like a laptop or super portable like an acer?
From there, I would begin to read reviews and shop around.
For me and my lifestyle, Mac is the way to go. You get what you pay for and I think Macs present your computer to you in an easy to understand manner.
Good luck!
