Question Laptops and College

[Nordstrom]

Hello! I am going to be starting my undergraduate course at the end of September and I need a good gaming laptop that will keep me going for 3 years. I am looking for something with a reasonable price tag. Thanks for helping me!

 

[helpstar]

budget?

 

[Nordstrom]

budget?

No, mid-range.

 

[helpstar]

1000 USD?

 

[Nordstrom]

Yeah, that’s okay.

e.g.

HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop (15-c0042nr)

I'd definitely go for macbook air or macbook pro. I have mine for almost 4 years and it didn't get slower or anything, works just as fine as it was in the beginning. Also it is super comfortable when studying since it doesn't weight almost nothing, the control of the pc is also really convenient.

 

[helpstar]

so you game on it a lot too?

Hey, thanks for the reply! I do know macbooks are quite convenient but gaming is important to me and macbooks are not very good at gaming. I am going to be using this laptop for both for studying and gaming.

Yes.

Have you checked the 2019 Acer Predator Helios 300 Gaming Laptop? It's a great value for $1200 - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QXLFLXT
You get the newest 9th Gen Intel Core i7 six-core processor, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, 16GB RAM and 256GB SSD (easily upgradable).

Thanks for the reply! I really like this one! What do you think about this HDD which was frequently bought together with this laptop: https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Barr...G07X44NMP9D&psc=1&refRID=TM3WQG9D8G07X44NMP9D I’d like this laptop to be good to go for 3 years. Thanks!
