I'm looking for a new laptop. The must haves are 15" laptop, SSD, and a number pad on the keyboard. If I can get all that and a touch screen, then I've got the ideal laptop for my needs, but I'd forego the touchscreen if need be. I'm struggling too find something that meets my list. the one I have found with the 3 must haves is this:
Acer Aspire E 15 E5-575G-53VG
If that had a touchscreen, I'd be done looking. But I'd still like to try and find my 3 must haves and the touchscreen. hopefully someone can help. Thanks in advance, and here are the answers to the requested questions.
1. What is your budget? Under $1,000, and obviously the lower the better. If I can stick to the $600-800 range I'd prefer that
2. What is the size of the notebook that you are considering? 15"
3. What screen resolution do you want? I don't really have a resolution preference. An IPS screen would be nice (not required) for the viewing angle
4. Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop? I have a desktop, so this will just be used on the couch mostly. Not too concerned about super light weight.
5. How much battery life do you need? Not a priority, but more than my current one that won't even last through a movie.
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. (Low,Medium or High)? No gaming.
7. What other tasks do you want to do with your laptop? (Photo/Video editing, Etc.) Mainly just web, MS Office products, streaming video (but I'm not a resolution snob). I'll probably use it occasionally for a little bit of light use of Photoshop and Lightroom, but it'll infrequent enough that I'm not concerned about having the best performance.
8. How much storage (Hard Drive capacity) do you need? Not much. Looking for an SSD for the speed and plan to use network storage so files can be accessed from the desktop too. Not planning on storing files on the laptop. Something like a 256 GB SSD or better seems right.
9. If you are considering specific sites to buy from, please post their links. I typically shop from newegg or amazon but I don't have a problem shopping from other sites.
10. How long do you want to keep your laptop? I don't buy new very often. I think my current one is ~4-5 years old. I don't necessarily need all the latest bells and whistles, but the ability to last several years would be good.
11. What kind of Optical drive do you need? DVD ROM/Writer,Bluray ROM/Writer,Etc ? I'd be fine with any or none.
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'd prefer a common name brand (Dell, lenovo, Asus, Acer, etc.). I've stayed away from HP for quite a while now due to the absolutely horrendous customer service I have received from them, and will continue to avoid them unless there is a compelling reason to buy an HP.
13. What country do you live in? USA
14. Please tell us any additional information if needed.
Thanks!
