Hello!
I am looking for a laptop with good overall build quality and feel for the price range. The performance comes second, as long as I can play WoW at 60fps at lowest settings. A backlit keyboard is required for my usage, but battery life isn't important. Cooling shouldn't be an issue since the hardware probably won't get that hot for that price range. I will definitely consider refurbished or redistributed. I am currently looking at a laptop with an a10 processor or a core i5 broadwell with Intel hd 4400-4600. Dell has Inspiron 13/15 with backlit keyboard and options for those processors around that price range on EBay, but looking for other brands and choices as well. Thanks!
1. What is your budget?
- $400-600
2. What is the size of the notebook that you are considering?
- 13-15.6"
3. What screen resolution do you want?
- 1600x900 is preferred, but it's not priority. A good quality 1366x768 is good as well. 1080p would be a sweet bonus!
4. Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop?
- No. I have a desktop machine that play my games just fine. This laptop is just to lounge and will be mostly plugged in, so not worried about performance as much as overall build quality and functionality, cooling, etc.
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. (Low,Medium or High)?
- World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor at native resolution of laptop at Low quality settings with a fluid 60fps if possible.
7. What other tasks do you want to do with your laptop? (Photo/Video editing, Etc.)
- Watch YouTube videos @1080p without buffering due to hardware.
8. How much storage (Hard Drive capacity) do you need?
- Doesn't matter.
9. If you are considering specific sites to buy from, please post their links.
- Doesn't matter, but one that takes PayPal is preferred. I live in the United States.
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 ?
- Doesn't matter what kind or if laptop even has a drive bay.
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.
- no real preference as long as it comes with the features I want. I generally look at asus, Dell, toshiba, when buying laptops, they tend to offer the most all around products for Least money in my experience.
13. What country do you live in?
- United States.
14. Please tell us any additional information if needed.
- A backlit keyboard is a *must*.
- Overall feel and quality of laptop is more important than the performance.
- A quality 1366x768 screen is more preferred over a bad 1600x900, but a 1080p wins out, good or bad.
