| Topic | Hey B8, help me find a new laptop for Black Friday |
| digiiiiiiiii 11/20/17 8:08:46 PM #8: | So, a couple things. 1. Gaming being a consideration at all means you want at least a GTX-1050, though if your budget is $800 and you don't mind being at or around that, a GTX-1060 would be very nice to have and future proof you to an extent. If you can find something with a 1060 and all your other must-haves, including budget, that's the way to go. 2. That said, the one you linked is a great deal for a good laptop. It's a good price and you won't find better than that (other than this same laptop being a bit cheaper a couple days ago on a lightning deal) with a 1050 in it. 3. Touchscreens suck on laptops. 2-in-1s mostly suck too. More things that can break. 4. Other specs to care about: you want a seventh-gen intel processor, 8GB of RAM like you said and an SSD is nice, but not super crucial to be honest. You're not paying much more to have these perks, that said. 5. Brand shouldn't concern you that much. Laptops are in a good place these days where most of the top brands are producing quality products. The only issue is that laptops have a lot of things that can break. Whatever you buy, you should buy new, you should keep a receipt, and you should keep both the box and packing material intact in the case of you ever needing to RMA. For instance, I have an MSI gaming laptop. I have had to RMA it in the past and I would still have no trouble recommending an MSI laptop. The brand stuff is too complicated to really worry about. Check reviews for individual models, keep your packaging intact so you can replace it if you need to, and try to find a brand that offers more than a one-year warranty. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
