Hi,

Missus wants a device for running Office suite. All I need is some torrents and effective streaming. We do zero gaming, graphics or audio work with it. My current laptop is 10 years old and the motherboard just crapped out.

Looking to replace this evening, honestly with likely the cheapest laptop we can find, maybe spring a bit for something like the Asus Flip so she can easily use it on her spin bike or something.

One laptop comes with "S" mode - I understand what it is, but is it a good warning sign to just not waste the money?

Anyone experienced with any of the bottom of the barrel laptops currently on the market (350-500 range)?

I understand Chromebooks essentially can't run programs that don't come through Play. F that. Unless I shouldnt?

Thanks for any advice guys. I seriously don't care much about performance or graphics quality...it'll be used to for fitness apps and maybe downloading some old shows or something.
