I'd edit the post above if I could do it without a total deletion, so here is what I'd change after thinking a bit more about it:

1) Internal cellular Broadband – It’s difficult to find a built-in model, and the advantages of a Hot-Spot with one account supporting multiple devices makes it the preferred choice.

2) SSD drive capacity – Although 128GB should be adequate for most business users, I'd recommend at least 256GB to be safe. There are many home users who collect multimedia and if you use video in your camera you may need the space (but don't forget cloud and/or USB drive backup, computers fail or can be lost/stolen).

3) Windows 7 is obsolete, so it's foolish to buy into it when the learning curve for Windows 8 really isn’t bad even for a non-techie. You'll need to get modern sooner or later. Current models of new computers come with Windows 8, period. Even non-techy users adapt very quickly, however there are times when you might get thrown into the “modern interface” of a program such as Adobe reader and it can be confusing. If you get a Windows 8 laptop with keyboard and mouse it's a good idea to change program defaults to use the desktop versions of programs, and keep in mind the “Windows” key when you need to regain your bearings.

There are lots of Windows 8 tutorials on the web. Just remember your "start button" has been replaced with the Windows key on a keyboard, and the "Home" key on a tablet, and if you don't see the tile for the action you want -- just start typing the name of the program or function you want and your choices will be there instantly.
