I've been using a 7 year old laptop that finally decided it was time to go. I need a replacement.

What would be my best bet? I don't need anything fancy. Just your basic Office stuff and Internet.

I'd like to be able to use it to upload my GoPro videos and edit, but it's not a requirement. I also have an external hard drive, so storage is not a big factor.

I can respond with any other preferences that I have overlooked and should take into consideration.

Thank you.

Price range? There are some pretty capable Windows tablets (2 in 1 s). That could meet your needs sub $1000.

Now that Google is making the app store compatible with Chromebooks they might be worth a look.

Although it may not work for some of your GoPro needs.

How much memory do you want? Price is predicated on what you can live with or without.

I've had good luck with Toshibas at the lower end of your price range.
