The features she wants the most is a decent amount of storage, HD resolution screen, a card reader, and 2 USB ports.

7. The Decision
What my mom wanted: Lots of storage, HD resolution, laptop, card reader, and at least 2 USB ports.
She doesn't like the HP Envy because it doesn't have super HD, it has a resolution of 1600 by 900 (900p).
She doesn't like the Asus because of the price and she doesn't need all of the extra features like having 3D.
She decided to buy the Apple MacBook Pro. It has 2 USB Ports, a built in card reader, a decent amount of storage, super HD (2880 by 1800), and a good battery life.
