I am looking to buy a new laptop for school on black friday. There are 4 that I am looking at all the same price. I dont do any gaming. this would just be for shool work at youtube videos.

I would buy the first one you listed out of those four; the HP Pavilion laptop. It has the best processor of the bunch and has more storage than you would probably ever need, as well as good sound and a fairly good battery life. Talking about batteries though, HP has a bad habit of wonky batteries in my experience. I have seen four different HP laptops with battery failures or not working properly and the laptop would need to be plugged in all the time or the laptop would shut off in minutes. I would recommend you maybe going for something by Acer, Asus or Toshiba. Look for Intel Processors, i5's mainly and around 8 GB's of RAM and you should have a pretty good laptop, the rest of the specs are basicly just whatever your preferences are.

The i3 is not really worth buying at all, yes.
