What is the best laptop I can get for under 800 @ Best buy (she wants something national for service if need be) right now. This is for my wife for school work, surfing the net, family pics, and such. Thanks Ted 7-23
 
Your wife's needs does not seem demanding. I recommend the following 15.6" Dell Inspiron 2-in-1 (convertible) laptop for $650. It has a Core i5-7200u, 1080p screen, 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD. The SSDs are much faster than hard drives so Windows can typically boot up within 15 seconds compared to 45 to 60 seconds with a standard hard drive. The downside is they cost more so laptops are equipped with lower capacity SSDs to keep the price down.

She found this laptop earlier what do you think she would also get the student discount. HP envy 15.6 touchscreen Intel i7 model 15M-BP011DX sku 5873908. It would be around 700. I like the one you posted bit she is a mom and downloads lots of pictures and family videos. My concern is the 256gb HDD.
