    You missed out on the "screen" - most important part, which one must have to stare at all the time.
    1) viewing angle
    2) screen type - matt / glossy
    3) colors -black visibility on the screen
    Also, compare AMD with intel as they are cheap but equal in performance
    Lastly, the intel cores in details - i.e. intel i5 ( all are not the same) - mostly people are conned here

But when I went to Best Buy and asked for it, one of the workers gave me an option for another one that was a little more, but they told me it ran faster, and I decided to trust them, lol.

    I'd recommend the DELL inspiron 14 5000. It's great for vids, editing, gaming, art, animation and school! There is a bit of a chunk rim at the bottom but it's a 15 inch screen with 8gb ram and 256 gb of memory. It's a touch screen with tent, tablet and movie mode. It's £699 which would be about $710/20 or so. Hope this helps!

    One tip I can think of is you have to factor in how long you want to keep it. If you plan for it to last a good number of years (my last top of the line i7 Laptop is still usable now 8 years later) then pay a little extra if you can to ensure it has those 'mod cons' like Thunderbolt 3, more RAM than you think you need right now if its soldered and a quality chassis. Generally I think having dedicated graphics will help with longevity, though if you have Thunderbolt 3 there's always the option of an eGPU down the line.

    The rule with words with re are often not followed. Accent on the re (redo, rework, rehash, re-sing, reboot), if the re is added onto a word to mean: do it again. Accent on the second syllable (resign, research(, when it does NOT mean do sth again, but is its own meaning. so, re-sign ,(accent on re) is to sign sth a second time; resign, is to leave a job. You're welcome. Thanks for th etips!

      @reoencarcelado5904 2 года назад +1

      @Jon-Connorton:
      I would have gotten the i7 processor because the processors for the longest time now have been soldered onto the motherboard and cannot be replaced.
      Likewise I would have gone for the SSD (*IF* it was SLC_or_MLC_or_TLC NAND-Flash AND had D-Ram--cache in it). Otherwide I would have gone for the mechanical hard-disk-drive.
      In conclusion, I would have gone for the Core i7 and SSD.

    The big thing I wanted from this (as someone who is not a tech savvy) was, what is memory, what is RAM, how is it different to storage? Also apparently just the running of the laptop takes up most of the storage space - how much does it take up, how do I ascertain how much storage I am actually getting?
    I mean its obvious the higher the better, but that doesn't actually help when you have a budget and don't know what to pick. Please someone help quick thanks.

I like windows because it is more versatile and while the others are good they tend to work best if used how they are designed to be used. I dont usually comment on stuff, but I thought I'd give my opinion in case someone is struggling to decide.
