Looking for a basic laptop for work. Really just need it for web browsing and doc creation through Microsoft word, pp, excel, etc.

Pretty much all the same at that price point.

Personally I don't think it's worth it to but a laptop that cheap. I have before and it was a complete piece of crap. Is it a matter of not having the budget right now? In my opinion if thats the case I would say to wait a little bit and save up some more $ and buy a laptop that can last 3-5 years.

Unless you need a laptop right now in which case go for it.

Toshiba's are surprisingly good at that level. Mine is 3 years old as well and runs fantastic still. In some ways better than my $1500 ASUS.

HP Stream 13 on Amazon for $215 as another option. If you're only using it as a web browser + light office work.

You can find a dual core with 4 GB Memory and Windows 7 for $200 bucks. That's good enough for browsing the web and making some documents. It should last you 2 or 3 years with a lot of wear on them.

That's normally what I pay and use them for.
