Hello, I'm looking around for a good budget laptop, doesn't have to be anything super powerful.
I'm most specifically looking for a fairly sufficient processor, four or more gigabytes of RAM, and fairly sufficient graphics. Also, fairly good battery life.
As for how I plan on using it, I haven't really got all that much to say about that. Just looking for a portable computer I can have some general use on. I don't intend on intensive gaming (possibly just some lower requirement stuff)
More specifically, I just want a laptop that isn't the equivalent to a brick. I plan on carrying it around with me, so battery life is fairly important.
I also really don't want all that many gimmicks. (For example, touch screen. Sure, it can be neat and useful at times, but I really don't see a reason to have a potentially raised price for that.)
Also, operating system doesn't really matter. Windows 7, at least, I'll most likely upgrade to 10 if it's not already on it.
TL;DR: I'm not totally broke, but that doesn't mean I can throw money around.
Specs must be: alright processor, alright graphics, 4+ RAM, good battery. I'd say something in the range of 200-300 dollars. (It can be more than that, but keep it under 500)
EDIT: By "general use" I really do mean general use. Web surfing, downloading, and the likes.
Storage space isn't an issue, I don't need to worry too much about that.
I want something portable, not so small it's awkward to use, but not too bulky and heavy (I plan on carrying it with me for school, and maybe when I go places)
The specs don't need to be super high, but I'd like something that will hold up well for multitasking, and won't just deteriorate after a while.
I don't plan on super heavy use, mostly just for when I'm out of the house. Maybe a small bit of gaming (nothing heavy at all, so that point is a bit useless) and definitely schoolwork. I also do plan on getting a graphics tablet at some point, so I'd like it to work well with some design software.
TL;DR: something working for general use, schoolwork and so on. No demanding games, I'm keeping that for my desktop. Portable (not HUGE, not super heavy), good battery life—don't want it to die on me.
Also, there's currently some sort of deal on Newegg, "on purchases of two hundred dollars or more, get twenty five dollars back when using select card holders" or something like that. I did check, and my card is eligible. So, if I can find it for a good price on Newegg, that would be preferred.
Thank you in advance!
