My lap top is getting pretty old. Like 5 or 6 years old. Also I need one to take with me on the go.

Can anyone suggest a good laptop just for work/running a business. I want to stay under $500. Thinking about getting some kind of notebook.

Saw a couple nice ones on amazon but just looking for some other opinions.

Thanks
