Not looking for a world changer type laptop but just looking for a good reliable laptop with Windows 10 or a free upgrade from 8.1 to 10. Any suggestions?
Wife was looking at this one. Anyone have any experience with it?

Depends on your definition of good and reliable, I guess. As for a laptop worth buying at that price point, only thing that comes to mind are the HP Stream laptops. I wouldn't bother with any notebook that uses an Intel Atom (like the one you linked). The HP Stream is spec'd similarly to that ASUS, except the HP has a bit faster CPU and a touch screen. And it's cheaper. The downside is that it looks like a toy with the blue chassis. But don't mistake a darker colored chassis for durability. They're all the same plastic.
EDIT: I just realized you linked to QVC. wtf

Bought my 14y daughter a white acer Chromebook for $149 last weekend at target during tax free weekend and I am blown away.
I think the battery life is like 8 hours and so far I haven't found anything o don't like.
Oh and she gets 100gb free gdrive storage.

you can get some really nice dell machines for less than 250 on ebay. used, but quality specs. you arent going to get anything worth a shite new for less than 200.

is that the size you want? 11"?
you could get an i3 laptop with a touchscreen even.. for about 299

I picked an HP 14 chromebook up off amazon for $270 a while back and I like it. It is missing features found in normal windows computers and laptops. However, it starts instantly and the battery lasts for ~8 hours.

What is the cheapest device that can stream Watch ESPN and Sunday ticket without a hiccup? I have an old macbook (from 2008 or so) that lags the whole time. Maybe I should just upgrade the RAM?
