Hello everyone,
I am thinking of buying a new personal laptop.
Right now I own an Asus X75VD and a Lenovo Thinkpad X230 refurbished.
I use the latter for professional purposes and I want to replace the former.
I would prefer for the budget to stay under 500/600euros. I am living in France and in the UK if this matter.
I don't mind for it to be refurbished and I also don't mind making some few adjustments (e.g. upgrade the RAM).
1. What is your budget? <500/600€
2. What is the size of the notebook that you are considering? At least 15", 17" preferred
3. What screen resolution do you want? Enough to watch movies in HD
4. Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop? Desktop replacement laptop (I am not going for a desktop since I am moving home every other year but I don't need to move it often)
5. How much battery life do you need? Doesn't matter
6. Do you want to play games with your laptop? If so then please list the games that you want to with the settings that you want for these games: I would like to play game. Mainly old ones that does not requires much (monkey island, broken sword, fallout...) but also some more recent Fallout 3/New Vegas, Skyrim, the Witcher... Then if I can play even more recent ones it would be better.
7. What other tasks do you want to do with your laptop? (Photo/Video editing, Etc.) Watching movie/streaming.
8. How much storage (Hard Drive capacity) do you need? 512Go I would say.
9. If you are considering specific sites to buy from, please post their links. No
10. How long do you want to keep your laptop? A few years at least
11. What kind of Optical drive do you need? DVD ROM/Writer,Bluray ROM/Writer,Etc? DVD would be nice, Bluray would be even better
12. Please tell us about the brands that you prefer to buy from them and the brands that you don't like and explain the reasons: I am happy of the recent refurbished Thinkpad I bought, so maybe a Lenovo. But really I am open to any suggestions.
13. What country do you live in? France and UK
14: Other: As I said before I don't mind making some upgrades and I don't mind if the laptop is refurbished.
Thanks for any advice you will be able to provide.
