WGST's "The Sully Show" for 3/4/16 - A Laptop for Every Budget

Besides a home and a car, a laptop is one of the most important purchases you will make. And many people make this purchase each year, for whatever reason.

While it's a personal decision, it's also a tech decision and finding the right laptop to meet your needs and budget can be tough.

Rick and Sully discuss:

 

1.   HP Stream  - Under $200

The revolutionary HP Stream is a stylish, affordable Windows-based PC that lets you store your content in the cloud for easy access in more places.
- Comes in 11" or 13" displays
- Free Cloud Storage for Data
- Free Office 365 Personal Included
- Dual Core Processor
- Thin and Light

 

2. Microsoft Surface Line-   Starts at $400

The Microsoft Surface line always gets a lot of exposure, especially when it comes to being in a partnership with the NFL. Surface models start at around $400 and give a full Microsoft experience in laptop or tablet mode.

There’s no limit to what you can achieve with the versatility and power of Surface. Do great things.

 


3. Dell Inspiron 11 3000 Series 2-in-1 Special Edition -  $699 at the most

Great for business use.
The Del Inspiron 11 measures 0.76 by 11.8 by 7.9 inches (HWD) and weighs 2.98 pounds, a compact and attractive system.

11-inch 2-in-1 with the performance of a laptop and the convenience of a tablet in one small device that makes it easy to take with you anywhere.
The $600 “Special Edition” review unit represents the top tier of the system, and came with a sixth generation

Intel i3 core processor, 4GB of DDR3L memory, and 128GB hard drive.
The Inspiron 3000 doesn’t look like a two-in-one, and that's a good thing.

A powerful laptop/tablet device.
