Laptop for Christmas

[Tomchew]

Wanting to buy a laptop for my wife's work, she is a teacher and every laptop she's had so far failed within a year mostly hp, I'm looking to get her one within the 500$ range with an ssd and regular hard drive, also one that's not full or bloat ware if that's possible. We live in Canada and I can't find much In future shop ir bb.

Yes looks nice but no ssd, can i put one in after i buy it? and also no reviews makes me shy away or am i wrong to?

 

[Tradesman1]

Sorry bout that, can't think of much in that range w/ both, will try and take a look, keep that one bookmarked as it's popular

I actually found a nice store my friend just told me about, http/www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX44406 this is close to what I would like to get for her but a bit lower price, the Gpu dosent to be so good and probably less ram, also i3. Is there anywhere I could build a laptop like this for $500ish?

 

[Tradesman1]

That's what I was saying, not likely to see close at the $500 price point, most around there are basically...well basic - 4GB DRAM, single HD, etc

Well that ne you pointed out canit fit an ssd, how can you tell if it canbe upgraded?

In general, just about all laptops can be upgrade at a later date from a HDD to a SSD.
