Hey friends and foes. I need a new laptop because my current one is probably going to explode soon. It has a laundry list of things wrong with it, including:
- Battery is p much fucked
- USB ports are slow and sometimes unresponsive
- It's almost six years old, and runs any relatively new games like shit
- It recently started making funny noises sometimes and it gets hot for no particular reason
- It's an HP. Once upon a time the hard drive died for like, no reason, which may have killed or severely injured the VHL had the stars not aligned a few days earlier.
All in all, pretty old and outdated. It has served it's original purpose and run its course.
What I now want is something that can handle some light gaming, but also last me preferably another five years. Minimum 4 GB RAM and can run Skyrim and The Sims 4 like a boss. I recently won $300 for doing an engineering survey, so I'm looking for one in the $500-$700 range.
Don't tell me to get a Macbook or I will ban you on grounds of stupidity. Unless you can specifically point me to one that fills all my requirements, which, spoiler alert, I extremely highly doubt you can. Because Apple is terrible.
frescoelmo recommends I get a Chromebook. I'm more tempted toward THIS though, since it's apparently brand new, but I'm not sure how great a deal it is because I know less than Jon Snow.
So is that ASUS a pretty good deal? Do you recommend something better?
Halp pls and thx
Love,
Jardy
EDIT: Another potentially decent Kijiji deal? 5-Month Old Samsung
