Hey everyone, another laptop buying thread, hopefully people are still willing to help after my indecisiveness from my last laptop buying thread… sorry.

This is for my fiancée. Her needs are:

• Smaller computer tasks on MS Word, and Excel
• TV, Music
• Portability – she’s hard on her electronics
• If Windows 8 – must be durable touch screen
• Would prefer to spend less than $750
• No games at all

She wants a keyboard, so I think that eliminates most tablets, but if someone has a tablet in mind, let me know. I have looked at the Dell 15Z but it gets above $850 when you add the touchscreen, so it no longer is cheap. I looked at the CNET buying guide, but it sort of turned me off.

Any suggestions?

Thank you for any.
