Budget of around 1K not sure if todays technology is faster then what i have or not? If what i have is good enough let me know my comp. is really slow i had a friend do a virus scan and updated firmware? or something like that idk i just thought these things had a shelf life and mine was about up. Thanks in advance 26sutphen

Yeah if you've got a 1k budget, then you can get a phenominal laptop for that money, it'll blow your current one out of the water, but as lagerland says I would fix it, it should cost you under ?50 to repair, backup your files & reinstall windows is a good way to get rid of any crap & speed the system up. Also check for new drivers if it keeps kicking you off internet, otherwise the wireless card may be nackered, doubt that though. It's upto you at the end of the day, but for what you use it for you don't need to blow 1k, ?500 is more than enough. Yeah today's technology is definetly faster, much better processors, faster memory, better screens, graphics cards, ssd's. List goes on.
