chevysoldier Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Buying a new laptop today and need some input. It'll be used for and at school, movies and videos, amateur photo editing, general web browsing. No gaming. I've attached screeshots of the three I've narrowed it down to as well as my search requirements. It'll also most likely be getting Windows 7 Pro put on it unless I can deal with 8.1. Thoughts?

Cdubyah Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) Option B. Same price, better processor.If you aren't gaming or video editing I don't see the point in alot of RAM. Edited April 16, 2014 by Cdubyah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevysoldier Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Option B. Same price, better processor.If you aren't gaming or video editing I don't see the point in alot of RAM.I've been thinking about that and came to the same conclusion. Better processor abd if I really need it, I can always upgrade RAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 agree if you wont be gaming #2 is fine. but dont get it with plans to upgrade the RAM - it doesnt say it is possible like the other two do (they mention a 16g max, meaning you can add memory - not sure if #2 has that option because it isnt mentioned...ive had laptops with non upgradeable components before) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 B unless you do a lot of high res photo work in Photoshop. Then C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevysoldier Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Thanks for the input. I went with option B. Even if i can update the memory, I really don't think I'll have the need to. And my Photoshop editing is just amateur stuff anyways so no big deal there. It should get shipped out today with free ground. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Looking into it further, the RAM is upgradeable, but you have to replace, not add. Has 2 slots, ships with both filled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jporter12 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Kill yourself. I hate Apple. I refuse to even use iTunes. And this is why we can still be friends. I have to admit that I have had itunes installed on my PC, only to help out a friend that has an iPhone. The phone is on my account, or I would have told them to pound sand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are, bring ear plugs.I never share for that reason plus I sometimes have nightmares. Not often, but I'm talking sit up in bed screaming nightmares.

Myself and Heavyduty are sharing a room, from my understanding he believes that he snores louder than i do. So we will both bring ear plugs...LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The instant that happens I'll go back to a Linux OS because I'm not going to be forced to use only MicroApple hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) A Chrome book and Office 365 is about all anyone needs anymore if you're not a tight wad. If you are, then stick with the Chrome book and get open office or something. Edited April 18, 2014 by r1crusher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
