I have found myself in need of a new laptop unfortunately (no tablets)--actually posting for a non-computer friendly friend of mine. Here's what I know
Price range $500-$850.00
Size 15" screen max, no 17"
Use- Video editing need for YouTube, basic web surfing (NO GAMING), and MS Office uses, unsure what image/video editing software will be used.
OS- Windows, doesn't need to be Apple
W/that said, I'm assuming no less than a Core i5, as for a mobile video card, unsure what should be inside.
I've used Dell, Lenovo and HP. All come preloaded with bloatware sadly, BUT none gave me issues. I've never done image or video editing so this is new territory.
I was thinking perhaps an HP Envy, but I don't really know as I only build rigs.
Follow up question, how much RAM is REALLY required to run the latest version of Windows? We all know MS always lowballs the consumer on how much RAM is needed. Is 8 Megs enough for Win10? Their site reads 2Gig of RAM is that is needed HAH!
Thanks!
