Honestly, whether it's a 15.6 or 17-inch screen doesn't move the needle for me. I’m really just hunting for a killer Best Buy deal, so I've been scouring every corner of the internet...
I think I'll just pull the trigger on that Dell you mentioned. You clearly know your stuff better than I do, so there's no point in questioning your judgment. 😉
Much appreciated for the thorough breakdown. You're right, though... what you suggested actually fits my needs much better.
One more thing, though. What’s your take on this one?
Thanks 🙂
Greetings darkowl72,
How does something like this stack up against the one you posted?
Or maybe this...
I’m looking for something to cover the same needs mentioned in the original post. Which one is the smarter buy?
Furthermore, if we set gaming aside entirely, what would you suggest based on these specs:
An i5 (2.0 GHz or higher), a 500 GB HDD paired with at least an 8 GB SSD, and somewhere between 4 to 8 GB of RAM. Nothing fancy for the graphics card.
I realize finding that kind of hardware under $450 might be a long shot, but if anything comes to mind, I’d appreciate the lead.
P.S. I still have an old Toshiba Satellite A300D. The graphics card finally gave up the ghost, but everything else runs perfectly. Any idea how I could salvage it? It feels wrong to just toss it out when it's just a GPU issue...
