Hello,
I just wanna ask if what laptop to buy, I just need it to review some of programming knowledge. I need laptop where I can study SAP, SQL, and other programming language, I want to install also photoshop, and autocad. But my budget is limited maximum of c$700. I'm. Hoping for your help. Thank you...
 
Of the ones you listed the HP dv7 looks to be the overall best value.
The 17" 1600x900 LCD screen is a good bonus over the 15" 1366x768 screens.
But it's also the biggest and heaviest. If you're OK with the big and heavy 17" notebook pick the dv7.

Hi,

Thank you very much for your time, I really appreciate it. Is it OK to buy a refurbished laptop? Because upon checking again the HP dv7 I saw that it was refurbished that's why the price drop, if not what is your 2nd choice based on my list? Thank you again. :)

I just want to add this song vaio even series on the choices this is the specs:


Intel® Core™ i3-2350M processor (2.30GHz)
Microsoft Windows® 7 Home Premium
15.5" LED backlit display (1366 x 768)
Intel™ Graphics Media Accelerator HD
500GB (5400rpm) hard drive
6GB (4GBx1 + 2GBx1) DDR3-SDRAM-1333
CD/DVD player / burner
Standard lithium-ion battery (4000mAh
 
A used / refurbished laptop should not be your first choice.

The Sony option would be better than the rest of what you listed.
After that it would probably be the Samsung R540 or Asus K52jc based on which one has the better CPU. Make sure they're new - both are older models.
