Note :
I have already found a possible laptop to buy, but since It's my first time buying a laptop I'm not entirely sure if it's good or not, it's listed in bottom of the post.
1. What is your budget?
My budget is at max $600.
2. What is the size of the notebook that you are considering?
I'm looking for a 15 inch one, it cannot be any smaller.
3. What screen resolution do you want?
The laptop needs to have a screen resolution of at least 1920x1080.
This can also not be any smaller.
4. Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop?
Not entirely sure what the difference is, but from what it sounds like a desktop replacement is bulkier than a portable one?
If I'm correct I'd prefer a desktop replacement, but I don't think that matters as long as my other needs are "filled in".
5. How much battery life do you need?
This does not matter since I will be able to charge it most of the time. (Anything above 4 hours is probably fine)
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)?
I probably won't be playing any released games, however I will be developing my own games.
They won't have any advanced graphics, all I need is modern OpenGL support on the graphics card/built in graphics.
7. What other tasks do you want to do with your laptop? (Photo/Video editing, Etc.)
I will be using this laptop to mainly compile and write code using the IDE/application Visual Studio 2015 which eats quite a lot of resources, while running that I will probably also have 10-15 tabs open in google chrome, and sometimes (or rarely) I might have Photoshop open for a few minutes too (also at the same time as the other things).
8. How much storage (Hard Drive capacity) do you need?
I will need at least 1 terabyte (1000 gigabytes, give or take 200 GB).
9. If you are considering specific sites to buy from, please post their links.
I think any site should work fine as long as it has shipping to Sweden.
10. How long do you want to keep your laptop?
I'd like for it to keep up for at least 4 years, however I don't know if that is even close to possible on this budget.
11. What kind of Optical drive do you need? DVD ROM/Writer,Bluray ROM/Writer,Etc ?
I do not need a optical drive at all.
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 need it to have windows 10 installed by default. Which means no Apple products.
13. What country do you live in?
I live in Sweden.
14. Please tell us any additional information if needed.
Would be nice (but not required) to have some sort of HDMI or displayport.
Would also be good to have a USB-2.0 or higher port.
I will be using it over wifi so no network cable ports are needed.
More extra info :
I have been looking at this laptop which seems to have a good price as well as decent specifications and seems to meet all my requirements :
HP Notebook 15-AY011NR
Maybe you people have some opinions about it? Or maybe have a better suggestion on a laptop.
