After putting my beloved 10 years old or so Toshiba on lifesupport 2 years ago, it shows signs of getting too hot again too often.
Now I don't know what to replace it with, I am so used to XP and I see so many problems with Windows 8, would I be better off trying to find a Windows7 laptop? Can"t afford a Mac and it is probably too hard to learn its OS.
I never play games, or download anything but use it for email and family pix organizing. I need 4 USB ports, because the new computers don't seem to have a modem, needed for dial-up to get some kind of device unfortunately.
Any advise what brand is reliable? Is there a laptop with matte screen still? Will I have to replace my old programs, like Word and Paintshop Pro?
I' ll appreciate any advise.
