Explosion-chan Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I'm looking for a laptop for my sister to use for internet surfing and word processing, basic school stuff. I believe she'd like a touchscreen with windows 8. I know she want something with windows. The top of her price range is $500 and I'd prefer something prebuilt, although I do have the skills to make one if it's that much of a better thing.

Keroro1454 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Inb4 summon the great god McCoolName. I actually have one that meets those specs: Lenovo Yoga - Touchscreen without being in your face - Nice Display - SSD - If you want to play games it can run BL2 fine - Windows 8 (Although get pumped because we get W10 for FREE) The Yoga 2 is 450 at Best Buy. REMEMBER: DON'T GET THE SURFACE. IT IS A FALSE IDOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually don't know much about the Laptop market since there's literally hundreds of different laptops released yearly (because these companies all fucking suck....). With that said, Asus, Lenovo, and MSI are usually my go to suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REMEMBER: DON'T GET THE SURFACE. IT IS A FALSE IDOL. One of my friends has the Yoga 2, it's pretty nice. If it really is only $450, then it's a pretty good choice. I've never heard of anyone building their own laptop, although I imagine it would be possible. And yeah, DON'T GET THE SURFACE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, DON'T GET THE SURFACE I've actually seen it before, it's pretty awesome, just have to be a hell of a lot more careful and parts can be more expensive than one that's already built.

Also means it is more fragile. - It's Dell, which I don't like unless its for a monitor or Alienware, Lenovo is more quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also @you/op keep in mind a mobile i3/i5 is different than a desktop i3/i5. A mobile i3 is the same as a mobile i5 but with no turbo boost (& lower clock speeds), less cache, and sometimes lesser integrated graphics. (Vs desktop where the main difference is that an i5 is a true quad core while an i3 is only a hyperthreaded quad core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the laptops do then weigh 200000000000 pounds, but that's besides the point lol And good point about the i3/i5. Teach me your ways, oh wise one.
