Hi, Deb,
We've had 4 Dells over the years and that was quite enough for me too! I went with an Acer Chromebook with 4GB memory and an 11 inch screen. It is very light and fits in my pocketbook. (No, I really don't have a pocketbook the size of a diaper bag!!! ) Anyway, it has 12 hours of battery life and I've had it for 3 years-still going strong. As long as you don't need to install software via a DVD drive, it will give good and useful performance.
