Bump. Looking to replace my personal laptop that is probably going on 10 years. I mostly just use for Word and Adobe Lightroom for pictures (use iPad for web browsing).

Looking at this HP one that is $100 off. Any thoughts on that one?

You can do better than an i3 for 500 dollars.

Is that your budget?

Yeah, somewhere around $500. I don’t need an expensive one for my use.

If you live near a microcenter the one below is the one I recently got for my wife. I would recommend Asus over HP, they are slightly more reliable and they have less bloatware. However to be honest the HP would be fine for what you need.

Thanks. I'll check that one out. It does look like a Microcenter not far from me.
