buying a laptop

[henni16]

Im buying a laptop and i have no idea what should i buy. I need to be able to do my homework (small scale video and picture editing, scripting maybe 3d modeling and those kinds of stuff). I would like to play a few games too, like gta v when the pc version comes. The screen should be something like 17'' and maybe even bigger. And the longer the battery lasts the better. . It should last at least 5 years whitout changing any parts. This is a rough description of what kind of computer it should be, can anybody recommend anything? If anybody can say what kind of parts should it have that would be good too.

What kind of budget do you have?

about 500 euros but if needed i can pay more. i would just want to know what you recommend cus i can buy it from a warehouse where its cheaper. and i live in estonia so the prices are a bit different.

It really depends on many factors. You have to provide us with more information>

We need to know what is important to you. We need to know what kind of use it will get. We need to know what kind of taxes and tariffs are in place in Estonia.

I can tell you right now you are not going to be able to play GTA V very well on a 500 euro Laptop though. At least not at 1080p which most 17 inch laptops are leaning towards. I hate to suggest anything AMD, but you might have to settle for an AMD APU laptop. These guys will fill you in on those. Your frame rates will be low at best on newer PC title's but you can probably deal with it. I personally need 60FPS min. to play games or I freak out, but I am obviously spoiled as my company manufactures some of the most powerful laptops in the nation.

it is important that it would be smooth and fast and i would take it whit me when i go to school and when i travel also i would be sufring the net and playing gta sa probably cus thats the only game i play right now.
i dont know exactly what taxes are involved when buying a computer.
