Hi
I have a $1000 credit for the MS Store(online) but not really sure what I should buy. I had the credit for almost 1 year now and it expires on June 21,2015 so getting down to home stretch. I really was hoping that a new windows phone would have come out but that's not going to happen.
Right now I decided I will get
- HP Stream Mini 200-010 ($200 with educational discount)
and a laptop for my moms birthday in June. I have not decided which one yet(any recommendations?). she is running a laptop that super old(think like 7 years old and still uses XP and is super slow(takes like 15mins to load). She just basically uses to check her email so I am thinking of a laptop that uses eMMC for storage as I rather get the speed(I would hope the speed would be faster than hdd and closer to the ssd drive to speed.) then having 500gb harddrive, though I all ears the pros and cons.
I don't think I want to spend more than $250 on the laptop though as I think anything more is just a waste.
So they have a few
Acer Aspire E 14 ES1-411-C507 Signature Edition (has 500gb hd)
HP Stream 11 Signature Edition Laptop (Magenta)
ASUS X205TA-UH01-BK Signature Edition Laptop
They seem to have multiple models of each not sure what the difference are though.
This will get me to like $504 dollars with tax. I have to spend the $1000 all in one go. So I got basically $500 left and not sure what to get. I really don't need anything so I guess it is finding something that I might need.
I have a 360 and played maybe like 2 games on it, so xbox one is out. I thinking maybe some sort of tablet or something but I really don't want to put any money on top of this so surface(I could get the cheapest 3 model for adding like $75 but not sure without the cover might not be worth it?) is out as like I said it's nothing I really need but just need to spend this credit.
I have till June 21st but I don't' really thing anything new will be coming out to wait?
