Best Notebook Computer for Elise

Choosing the best notebook computer isn't easy. Working at home, Elise's level of use is similar to Darren's but there are some potential differences. She might need to use specialized software if she is working for a specific company. The company will be able to provide the system requirements to run that software. You just need to be sure the laptop computer you buy meets them. I would expect any of the levels of laptops I mention here to meet those requirements, though.

I know at least three women and a couple of men who could be Elise.

In most of these cases, when they, or their spouses, asked for advice, I suggested a bare bones laptop. In a couple of situations, where the second income for the family really wasn't the issue and it was a personal satisfaction issue for the stay at home spouse, I recommended the best laptop for most, an entry level laptop.

Either of these types of laptop computers will provide years of service at Elise's level of use. A low entry level laptop, with the best laptop prices, laptop would probably be suitable too, if you can't afford the extra money for a bare bones laptop.

If you are a US citizen and you are using the laptop computer primarily to generate income reported on your taxes, at least part of the cost of the computer can be deducted from that income. Your Uncle Sam "pays" for that part of the computer and you might be able to factor that in when you are deciding what you can afford. You will need to check the tax laws to be certain of the rules. I'm not competent to advise you in this area.
