My problem is that the things I am concerned about are things that I will not readily see like speed and storage.
Chickensoup, I just returned to your post to see what kind of advice you were getting from the knowledgeable Freepers. I, too, want a different computer (one that can charge quickly in case of an emergency power outage and one that holds a charge). I have to admit, the answers were all above my pay grade. Is there a computer purchase for dummies site out there? I’m typing away on an Acer.
