Need to buy a new laptop which I can use for Excel + Zoom + a few Chrome tabs at the same time. My current laptop takes it personally when I do that. Other than that, my biggest factor is it being lightweight! My current laptop is a brick.
Also a plus if I can play a few games... Minecraft, Skyrim (lowest possible graphics settings lol), etc...
Love the idea of a Macbook and having easy cross compatibility with my iPhone and iPad, but also do I really wanna relearn how to use Mac shortcuts? Need help deciding!
THE FORM:
Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
Haven't laptop shopped in forever, I have no idea what price range I am looking at. I need a laptop regardless of how much they cost so I'm flexible, but I'd cap my budget at $1k. I am in the US.
Are you open to refurbs/used?
Yes, I'd prefer it!
How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
Not super worried about it I don't think?
How important is weight and thinness to you?
Very--after processing power this is most important!
Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
Smaller preferred.
Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
Not really.
If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
Minecraft and Skryim and maybe some random Steam games hahaha. Nothing super intensive, but it would be nice if I could run a few games at their lowest settings. Doesn't need to be high FPS at all as long as it's playable.
Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?
Nerp.
Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
Thanks :)
