Sure. Nice specs, I/O, and reviews. Dell is doing a lot better with durability these days.

No problem going back and forth via Google Docs. My youngest does it all the time. I am going to suggest you look into the $99 RCA tablet at Walmart... https://www.walmart.com/ip/52619638?u1=&oid=223073.1&wmlspartner=RjWYtCqO0*M&sourceid=27364068732705465174&affillinktype=10&veh=aff A couple years ago, I was shopping for a full license for Office. I got an Asus Transformer with similar specs for $15 more than the Office license would have cost. I LOVE it! Good battery life (this one has six hours), lightweight, easy to type on (vs touch screen), and real Windows so I can run anything. Sync Chrome across the two computers and share files with a micro usb thumb drive. Something to think about. Worth a visit to the store for a little hands on.

http://cpuboss.com/cpus/AMD-E2-7110-vs-AMD-A6-7310 I don't think you would notice, but the A6 is a faster CPU. Otherwise pretty comparable. Get the cheaper one.

No appreciable difference.

No Haikus this year? Black Friday is getting near! Worst GottaDeal fear.

I just got an email with a 48" TV giveaway. I guess Black Friday is dying

Do you really want open microphones all over your home? Do you trust Amazon with conversations had in 'the privacy of your home'?

OP was talking about $250-300 laptops or desktops. You cannot build a PC to match the required specs for $300. A Gen 6 i5 processor costs $200. Windows costs $100. A 1t disk costs $50. 8g of RAM costs $50. $100 for a monitor. A case, power supply, mouse, and keyboard will cost $100. So, that is $600. Plus shipping. What's your time worth? What is things don't work out? The i5 and i7 desktops on this ad... http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/black-friday-1690-HPPavilionDesktopwCorei58GB1TB.html are $360 and $500; add a 24" display for $100 (same ad) for less money or more computer with no hassles.

I see a lot of trees in the ads. We are interested in replacing ours with something which requires little or no assembly but is durable and attractive. Any recommendations are welcome.

Overwatch is the more demanding game. Essentially, requiring an i3/i5 with accelerator. Integrated graphics of a 6th generation i5 or i7 should get the job done. You can certainly get an i5 cor $300. If you can go to $450, you can get an i7 laptop.

I have not been there for a long time and have concerns about heat, but they are supposed to be better gamers than comparably priced i core machines... http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/black-friday-323-HP156AMDA10Laptopw8GB1TBOnlineOnly.html Personally, I would go with a PS4 or an Xbox One especially in the $2-300 range. One more thing, if you are looking to purchase a desktop and want to upgrade video without worrying about upgrading the PSU or fitting a big honking video card in the case, the gtx 1050 is the only card you need to consider... http://www.pcworld.com/article/3134528/components-graphics/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1050-and-gtx-1050-ti-review-the-new-budget-gaming-champions.html Overwatch...

The answer is almost certainly no. First step is to identify the games that he wants to play. Come back with the list and we can look over the computers.

Got mine today! Thanks for the hat, bottle opener, pens, paper, cards, and $5 Amazon gift card. I'm going to use that to replace my payment methods so I can continue to get apps for my devices without exposing a credit card. The awsomeness of this package was only dimmed by two things... 1. A new iPhone 7 was waiting for me at work this morning 2. Expecting this almost got me to bite on a phish I was expecting the phone and this package, so when I got an email from USPS saying that delivery was not accepted, please click here... I was almost tempted. Anyway, I viewed the source and googled the underlying links and decided the message was a scam. Be aware -- we are all probably going to be expecting packages in the coming month!

TVs are ALWAYS on sale, but, yes, I bought my 60" plasma the Friday before a Superbowl. Felt like Malcolm Butler bringing that one home.

Best Buy Vizio 70" LED 4K Ultra HDTV Home Theater Display w/ Chromecast $999.99 i'll leave the rest in the give-a-penny-take-a-penny tin.

You are welcome.

http://mashable.com/2015/10/19/nintendo-nes-launch-atari/#GHDtdkGpkkq8 It's come to this! I'm 54 years old. I never remember not having a television and I have been playing video games for nearly as long. My first experience with a video game was a pong machine in the foyer of our local department store (Forest Hills). I could barely reach the knobs, but the line on the screen moved if you turned the knob even if you did not have a quarter. I played the heck out of that knob. A few years later, home consoles arrived. My first was a telstar console which had a bunch of those pong type games on it. By the time I turned 16, Salisbury Beach's arcades were full of quarter gobbling video games. Then the Atari 2600 arrived to save us all! Nintendo released their console in the US on Oct. 18, 1985. It would soon crush all comers. Over the years, Nintendo has accumulated a large library of intellectual property and re-released popular games with each new console. I'm not going to buy one of these. I imprinted on the Atari 2600 then had Atari 8-bit computers before succumbing to the siren call of IBM. I still have quite a few Atari computers and a Flashback 6. If someone would release an Atari 800 Classic with HDMI out, I would definitely own one within two hours. Still, paying $200 for this seems ... well ... impulsive. There will be infinite stock of these. Bed Bath and Beyond will let you use a 20% off coupon to buy one. Also, a fun alternative might be to install an emulator on a computer (Raspberry PI?) and pick up a classic controller ported to USB. Don't despair.

I would make a list of any laptops/televisions from the ads, read reviews, research current and recent prices, see the devices in person (if possible) and create a short list of items and the 'right price'. Then I would buy the first items which were close to your target price ASAP. You can always return unopened items if you get a better deal.

No change here. I am, however, shopping for a new vehicle and the election will mildly affect my decisions on this purchase.

I haven't shopped at Kohls for some time. They have added a lot of exclusions and fine print and it's just not worth the effort. We will shop the markdowns when we get a 30/40% off coupon in the mail, but I will not be in line on BF. Love your sig!

You have to define reasonably priced and gaming laptop for us.

Kohls... Haier 49" 4K Ultra HDTV $249.99 Roku 2 Digital HD Streaming Media Player $44.99 7-Foot Pre-Lit Slim Christmas Tree $79.99 The Big One Bath Towels $2.99 Keurig 72-Count K-Cups $24.99 Garmin Nuvi 58LM 5-Inch GPS with Lifetime Map Updates $89.99 Celestron 114AZ Telescope $79.99 + Kohls Cash

I would not buy a pentium period. It is a low end core i3 which is Intel's budget processor. Same for celerons. In fact, I would get an i5. It's the best value in Intel processors each generation. This laptop is $450. Let's check out what you can get for less than $500... Dell Business Dell Inspiron 15 5000 15.6" Core i5 Laptop w/ 8GB, 1TB $499.00 Staples HP 14" Core i5 Laptop w/ 12GB, 1TB $389.99 Staples HP 15.6" Pavillon Core i5 Laptop w/ 8GB, 1TB $479.99 Amazingly, there are a couple i7's in that range... Sam's Club HP 15.6" Core i7 7th Gen Laptop w/ 16GB, 1TB $499.00 If you can spend a little more, I really like this... Dell Home Dell Inspiron 17 5000 17.3" Core i5 Laptop w/ 8GB, 1TB $549.99 I'm looking at this. A 17" screen is great for two pages side by side which makes it easy to have google or a pdf open on one side while your student is composing his own work on the other. It will save you the hassle and expense of a second monitor. It's going to be a little bigger to carry about and battery life will not be as good for so big a screen, but it is an admirable 'portable desktop'. Here is your portable optical disc... Staples Verbatim External Slimline CD/DVD Writer $29.99

Then you should know. Some deals are pretty pedestrian and others are very good. It's about time for a top ten deals contest. If that were live, I would go with these...
