Wink What laptop (or desktop) should I choose?

How do I choose a new laptop or desktop pc?

I have a 2008 laptop that I love dearly but its graphic spec/RAM etc means that when I am virtually sailing on Sailonline.org - Online Sailing its wee brain gets overfull and so runs horribly slowly if I also want to check/write emails, check other sites, run YouTube videos, draft documents in Word etc etc.

There is a possibility that I can get a new laptop (preference) or desktop pc, and I just wondered if you could recommend a good mid-pricerange laptop or desktop for my needs. A Windoze one. I would be wanting to buy online as I don't manage store-shopping too well these days due parky bo11ox.

I have been browsing the internet as January sales is an ideal time to buy but... am going crosseyed with all the info.

My wireless router is a Netgear DC834G (vintage 2008) which works just fine.

Thanks in advance for any and all advice/help here!

P.S. my preference for a laptop is due to space constraints but obviously if a light years better (performance/graphics) desktop can be bought for the same price then I guess I'd be daft to push for the laptop
