Hello experts,
I am looking around for a decent overall laptop, screen size 14-15, for general use (MS Office, Photoshop) and to play WOW while travelling. Budget is 1000$ max (less if possible, of course). This would not be my main machine so does not need to have exceptional performance, but would have to be functional and reliable. I'm thinking of something pre-made by the usual suspects (Dell, Acer, etc...) , as I want to keep it simple rather than ordering something custom-built and having to decide the model for every part. I find the choice of models and companies a bit bewildering, and I don't know what the current feel is currently regarding the relative quality of the different companies.
Thanks !
