Hey guys, I'm new to the forum. I wanted to see if I could get some advice on buying a new laptop. I want to get a machine that is fast but I don't want to pay for things that I don't need.
I'm an average user in the sense that I don't use any demanding programs for video editing, ect. I also don't plan to use the system to play any games. I use my computer a lot though and speed is a necessity. I want something that is going to last me a while and would be worth upgrading in the future. I like to work on computers and replacing the hard drive, processor, memory, ect is part of the fun for me. I also plan to use linux as my primary OS. Here is a basic list of things that I'm looking for in my new computer:
Fast boot up
Preferably has a touchscreen
Is an actual laptop and not a 2 in 1
Is under 15"
Thin but doesn't have to be ultrabook thin
Intel core processor
Decent resolution
Good looking
The design of the laptop allows me reasonable access so that I can replace parts and upgrade
Durability
Decent price
Good speakers
A BIOS that isn't locked
I thank you in advance for your help.
