Hello,

I am confused with all the cpu product codes these days and am having a difficult time choosing the best laptop.

Which ever laptop i buy i plan to upgrade the hdd to an ssd so size doesnt matter. i need it to play 1080p flawelessly and have hdmi out. good battery cause its for school and no gaming is required.

here are my choices so far:

As you can see my budget it about 300-350 and im in canada.

Which one is the best value and which is the most powerful?

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello mentos;

That first choice is a used laptop.
That idea to upgrade the HDD to a SSD? How much will that cost?

You'll probably be much better off adding the cost of the SSD upgrade to the $350 budget and getting a laptop for that amount.

well, the ssd is about 100$ with a rebate so i've already factored in that price to my overall budget which leaves me with the listed choices. what about cpu power, which one would be the best?

 

[WR2]

Sorry, but a $100 SSD in a $350 'Netbook isn't anything I'm interested in recommending.

any one else care to respond?

1080p flawlessly? sorry, you are aware that you need 1920x1080 for 1080p?
