My son, the computer geek, has always bought Dell when he did not have time to build himself. So, I have always owned a Dell laptop and desktop. I am still using HP laser jet 4p that I obtained in 1998. It's a workhorse and serves me well; it has never been serviced or repaired.
After 4 years of using iPhones, he is leaving Dell behind in favor of Apple. I have no idea what I will do. Good luck, Sis Renee!
I have a Lenovo Laptop. My Desktops are always self built.
BTW can't you just buy a keyboard and use it with the laptop?
Yes, I may do that. I was also thinking of buying a monitor and using my laptop as the keyboard, but then that wouldn't work, I'd be looking over the top of my screen on the laptop. Might be a little too much for my neck. Also I do believe that I need one of those ergonomic keyboards. I had one before I got my laptop, and then I sent it to Goodwill.
Well if you get a Desktop, it will probably be running Win 8 unless you get an Apple
If so, if it's an all in one then the screen will be touch screen probably
Many Desktops don't come with a monitor which makes the all in one attractive to some.
One problem though, If it comes with 4gigs of ram or less I would upgrade it and ask them to install as part of the deal to buy it (else they will charge an additional 80$ just to install the RAM. The RAM itself may cost 40 or so depending on the brand)
The reason I say that is I can see messing with a computer that is built into the Monitor case being tricky for some to mess with. In fact I've yet to really check them out. I only set up my friends but did not bother to check to see if there was easy access to the RAM (Many laptops make it easy to access the RAM)
Also as far as CPUs go, AMD is cheaper. Generally (and sadly) Intels are faster. Don't get a Celeron (Intel).
I3 is probably the lowest I'd go but I'd probably opt for at least an i5. My Laptop is an i7 with a solid state drive. It boots up in 6 seconds

I really don't think I'd like a touch screen. I had a hard time getting used to Win 7, and seems a lot of other people did also. I hope, if I buy one, that Win 8 is better.
What is AMD? Why is Celeron not good?
Did you mean, 13-15 and 17 inches? My laptop is 17 " not counting the frame.

Win 7 was great. Win 8 is a pain and is mostly made for touch screens.
Nobody really likes Win 8
AMD is a manufacturer of CPUs. Intel is the other (For PCs)
Celeron is a stripped down version.
i 3 not 13.
i 7 not 17.
i3 and i5 are two of Intel's CPUs.
