Laptops: best Quality/Price?
Posted: Fri Sep 26, 2014 6:19 am
Hi, I don't know much about pc components or trademarks so I would like your opinion.
Basically I will change my pc in the next 6 months and would like to know if the deal is good, or if there is a better one. (Quality/price is bigger, even at lower or higher prices)
I will need it for studying (slides, documents and books), surfing the web (especially videos), editing music (garageband), video editing (yet to learn how, maybe with Blender), gaming (as best as possible, but I know that laptops may have a hard time).
So imo it seems I'll need a jack-of-all-trades laptop... (At least 1tera memory, probably 8gb ram, good graphic card, good cpu (how many cores though?) and good interface for wifi)
If it could have also webcam, bluetooth and a good screen it'd be nice.
Uh also it should stay alive for more than 6 years. I don't plan to change it.
Given so many "restrictions" I found a couple options, but maybe you know better? Also any suggestions about the brand more in general?
I would gladly listen to your opinion on my requirements too, I may have made some misjudgments.
The ones I found:
