Title: What type of laptop do I need??
Post by: Swift on March 24, 2016, 03:52:24 PM: I am looking to purchase a new laptop that I will use exclusively for work. I don't need anything fancy, just something that browses quick online and loads, updates, saves, closes files/programs quickly.

I want to buy something for as cheap as possible while still meeting the above need. I was thinking I could just buy something and load it up with ram, but I am not so sure this would actually make it faster - but instead I think it would just maintain its current speed for longer as I go through updates throughout the months that require more and more of the computer? IDK. Help!

If you want some speed, SSD makes a huge difference... Refurbished macbook air would do the job.

Post by: Warchief Lightbringer- on March 29, 2016, 01:55:17 AM: - Get a laptop with a SSD instead of a mechanical HDD. MILES FASTER and low power consumption.
- Get at least a core i3 with integrated graphics. Saves more on power (less heat, more battery life, less fan noise). i7 is way overkill. I5 if you 'want' it.

Lightbro is right, replacing a standard hard drive with SSD (solid state drive) will give you the most bang for your buck -- it'll make a huge difference in speed for all these things even in a low-end laptop. A 250GB is $90 on Amazon, or $45 for a 120GB if you don't need a lot of storage. Completely worth it & much better results than a RAM upgrade.
