Recommend a good budget laptop?

[potatochobit]

need a laptop around 300$

but it needs a good processor, no chromebooks and such

onboard graphics are fine

any suggestions?

From what site are you ordering from?

300 dollars usually is an AMD processor, or a shitty Intel atom/celeron processor, so pick your poison

What are you going to use it for, and what screen resolution are you looking for? You can still get some good Intel dual-core CPU's for under $300, but resolution will be around 1280 x 720. If you're looking at 1920 x 1080 resolution, expect it to be in the $350 range for dual-core's, but around $400 - $450 you could probably find Intel i5 or i7 quad-cores.

any clearance laptop with an i3 or A series  or better is fine around 15"

it's just for an older lady to check email and watch internet 

but I want something that will be able to browse the internet for many years, so it needs to have a contemporary processor

so no atom processors or chrome books, 720 resolution is fine

*if you are awesome* recommend one that includes windows 7, as well 

 

edit:

 

what about a transformer book?

that might be a good compromise

all the women like to play ipad in bed and it can be plugged into the keyboard when an email is needed

Seems nice for the price:

The new Atoms are much nicer than you'd think, especially for someone who just wants to browse. You can get an ASUS T100TA for < $250 every day.
