here are 2 i found so far

i plan on gaming on it, using it for intense school photoshop/indesigin/illustator stuff(cant bring myself to over pay on a mac for this lol), plugging it into my tv and watch streams and i might look into streaming consoles on twitch with it too. honestly even with the smaller screen size i might just go with the cyberpowerpc sure they include some kind of drop protection with it. idk just curious if there are any other suggestions. thanks!

Alright, I'm just going to throw a question out here:

Why not spend $400 on a laptop that will be more than sufficient for in-class work, and $1000 on a small form factor gaming computer than will double the performance of those laptops, be far nicer for graphic design, and can still be portable?

not sure if a 400$ is going to handle photoshop stuff that well! doing indesign stuff i lag even with a 3770k pc. next semester i hear we're making a phonebook so im sure it's going to be as laggy as hell lol.

You might be right that i might be over spending though. maybe if i lower it down to 700 and it can stream on twitch i'll just use that and just play indie games on it hehe
