So I'm a student on a tight budget, but also really need a new laptop as my current laptop is overheating way too much in this summer heat and performing worse and worse.
I'm looking for a few things:
-Price. Max at $550-600, so no fancy laptops for me.
-Quality.
-Ease of repair/replacement.
-Design. Thin and light preferred.
-Power. No Atom, no Pentium or AMD A6 and below, any gen. Any intel i-Series from 2nd gen upwards is fine for me, so is A8 upwards, any gen.
I don't mind if it's an old model at all, or if I have to use eBay.
I'm only looking for suggestion on the model, then I can go look for the best price myself out there.
Also, preferable WINDOWS 7. I simply cannot stand windows 8 UI not on a tablet.
My own thoughts so far:
I don't mind the brand, but I love HP's design -I love that clean metal look- and HP seem to be the only brand with the best prices.
I want a dedicated graphics card. No need for the fancy ones as I don't game, I just want one for future-proof purposes.
I can buy a lower, cheaper model then find better parts and replace them myself, if it means I can get something better for cheaper. I've taken out laptops multiple times, and have some experience of this.
I do like AMD, as they offer good integrated graphics and CrossFire if there's an AMD dedicated gpu. But I wouldn't mind intel or nVidia either.
THANKS in advance
