Laptop recommendations
Hey, so I bought a chromebook last year as my Compaq laptop died on me. Before that I had an Acer, which was pretty good. I want something better now as the Chromebook freezes a lot and I'm limited to what I can do on it. Plus, I really just want to play Sims 4. :joker:
Anyone have any good recommendations for what they found to be the best? I don't want to spend anything more than 350 which I know is kind of on a budget. Plus I don't want a notebook, I like a big screen. |
I think toshiba is pretty good. I had one before. :)

You should be able to get a decent enough HP laptop to play the sims on
|
My current laptop is Toshiba which certainly seems good. The HP ones look decent too.
what about something like this? http://www.dell.com/ie/p/inspiron-15...-laptop-ubuntu I know Dell have a good reputation but how cheap this is concerns me, it runs Ubuntu which I've never used so I don't know how that would work. |
You want an i3 or an i5 not a celeron or similar. 8gb ram, and preferably an SSD or Hybrid rather than a mechanical HD (this makes a HUGE difference in laptops). Ideally for playing the sims you'd also want a dedicated mobile graphics card but that might be asking a lot for 350, so integrated will have to do there.
I wouldn't get a Linux (Ubuntu) laptop unless you know how to use it. That said... You can get Windows 10 licences dirt cheap (like less than £10) so if you know someone who can install it for you it would be fine. |
Oh but that one you linked to has a crappy processor and a really slow HD. 5400rpm hard drive in a celeron laptop is going to take like 5 minutes just to load up Windows. Urgh.

If you got the money an Asus, Acer or Lenovo laptop with an i5 -processor (or better) and at least an 100 GB SSD hard drive. (A laptop i do not have myself)
If you want it to have a DVD/CD drive, your best bet is to go with a HP laptop. https://www.cpubenchmark.net/ http://uk.pcmag.com/laptops http://www.notebookreview.com/ http://www.laptopmag.com/t/laptops https://www.productchart.com/laptops/ http://www.toptenreviews.com/compute...top-computers/ |
I've got a mac book pro and i cant say I've got any complaints.
|
I have the touchscreen HP (which I accidentally smashed the screen of so it's no longer touch screen) and I've had it about 3/4 years and it's lasted me well. Still works perfectly, just the screen kinda limits the touchscreen.
|
thanks everyone. thinking of going with something like this https://www.productchart.com/laptops/6758
bit bulky but fits the specs everyone is recommending. even a second hand one of this should be fine? |
hp, 100%
|
Forgot to say at least 8 Gigs of Ram is recommended.
|
if you only want to play games or keep it in ur house then you should buy a desktop tbh
unless you need to take it out and about with you in which case yeah buy a laptop |
