What type of laptop do I need??
« 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!

Any new computer is gonna be able to browse the net and open programs.

Just get a cheapass Dell Inspiron if that's all you need.  http://www.dell.com/us/p/inspiron-14-3452-laptop/pd?oc=dncwf002s&model_id=inspiron-14-3452-laptop

I heard you smashed your laptop after getting owned?? =O
If you want some speed, SSD makes a huge difference... Refurbished macbook air would do the job.

- 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.
