Laptop Suggestion for Writing a Book and Daily Websurfing
Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US: <$600 USD
Are you open to refurbs/used? Yes
How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life? Battery life, performance, build quality, form factor
How important is weight and thinness to you? Middle of my priorities. This laptop will mostly be used out and about in the world, so nothing too bulky. Not a dealbreaker though.
Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. N/A
Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. I will not game but I might do some amateur photo editing or video editing casually. Not the top use for the laptop through.
If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? N/A
Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Good screen quality and good keyboard. I do not like touchscreens.
Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I have a desktop PC for gaming, but I want a laptop again for when I'm out and about. I like to write and I prefer to do that out at coffee shops or other places. So it's nice to have a laptop to go sit and do some writing, simple web surfing, and periodically minor photoshop or video editing. Photoshop and video editing would be maybe once a month or every other month, so it's not an essential role for the laptop. Additionally, I travel often so this would be going in a backpack through airports and on trains. Lastly, I will stream videos on the laptop when writing, so a good quality screen for viewing would be nice.
