I’ve been a writer for many years now, but I have only recently begun to write for a living. I write part time and I work outside the home part time. In order to make the transition from a part-time freelance writer to a full-time freelance writer, I need to find a cheap laptop computer with internet and a convenient web search engine for my researches.

I find myself spending many hours at my computer and this can be a little restrictive. I would like to have to convenience of being about to move around and still be able to type a few sentences as they come to me. I am apprehensive about spending too much money on a new machine when we have a perfectly good computer. I just need a cheap laptop for word processing and for creating some documents.

In addition, I may want to do a little research over the Internet, so the laptop computer should also have some Internet capabilities. Even a cheap laptop can connect me to the Internet, I assume. This may be a little too much to ask from an inexpensive laptop computer. The connection would have to be wireless. I’m not quite sure if older laptops have this capability.

I have a toddler, and I would like to be able to jot down a few thoughts while she plays. I usually spend one-on-one time with her. Then I engage her in an activity close to my workstation and she will play independently while I write. I have about twenty to thirty of minutes to work. I don’t get very much done, but it’s still significant progress. A cheap laptop would be a great solution for our problem.

I was considering purchasing a used laptop computer, but this is actually a very frightening idea for me. I do not know nearly enough about computers to risk spending money on a machine that I can’t use. What really concerns me about buying a cheap laptop is that the laptop may not be compatible with my home computer. I would hate to see hours of writing stuck on a computer that I cannot connect to my printer. I’m also concerned about losing data on an outdated machine.

There are probably many options for me, but I just don’t know where to begin. I am not sure whether I should consider buying a used laptop or whether I should choose a new, cheap laptop. I may find that there are many laptops available at reasonable prices. I’m going to do a little homework and see if I can find a decent laptop cheap.
