First off, if you are wondering why I have this weird budget of exactly $385.76, well that's what I get after converting my Rs 25,000 to dollars. Anyways, I urgently need a laptop for Gaming and Video editing. So 8GB RAM is already a bottom line, now I have 2 options with me. I can upgrade an old existing laptop of mine with that money, or buy a new laptop. I have the same budget for both of them.
So here is a deep look into my first option:
Existing laptop: Dell Inspiron 15R n5110 (~6years old)
Quick Specs:
What I can do with this laptop is:
And yes all this will take around $385.. Cons are very clear, it will be made by a noob, all custom so highly vulnerable to damages, hence let's see my second option.
Lenovo Ideapad 110 80TJ00BNIH
Quick Specs:
Still $385.. Cons? Maybe the graphics.
I am highly confused regarding this. I live in India so if you know about any other dangerous laptop that maybe in my budget, please do tell me.
So here is a deep look into my first option:
Existing laptop: Dell Inspiron 15R n5110 (~6years old)
Quick Specs:
Intel Core i3 2330M @2.2GHz
3GB DDR3 RAM(2+1GB Sticks)
Intel Integrated Graphics (1518MB)
500GB HDD

A keyboard whose BACK key doesn't work
What I can do with this laptop is:
Install 8GB RAM (2x4GB Sticks)
Fix an external GeForce GTX 760 that would always be hanging out of the case
Get an entirely new shell
Buy a new keyboard
And yes all this will take around $385.. Cons are very clear, it will be made by a noob, all custom so highly vulnerable to damages, hence let's see my second option.
