My girlfriend is replacing her old laptop that no longer has a working battery with it. Just looking for some advice on what to get. I bought the N56VZ from ASUS and I am stacking everything up to that laptop and nothing gets close IMO so it is hard for me to help her without just telling her to get the same one that I have.
She does not game and needs it for college. I want it to be nice though, most likely with a SSD drive. Dedicated GPU is not a requirement though since she does not do any gaming.
What is your maximum budget?
$1000
What country are you in?
USA
What will be the uses of this laptop?
college and entertainment like videos and music
Do you have brand loyalty or care which brands we select for you?
she likes ASUS and HP, but if there is a good laptop then she won't mind going for a different brand
What screen size do you require?
15.6"
What screen resolution do you require?
doesn't matter, although 1080p is always nice
Are you looking to buy NEW or would refurbished/recertified/used be okay?
new
How long should the battery last? (Under optimal conditions, no movies/games/heavy internet)
5 hours or so
What games would you like to play with your laptop? And on what settings?
none
What operating system do you need? (if any)
windows
Is there a certain style of laptop you want? (aluminum, black, gaming, etc.)
no so long as it looks nice
How much hard drive space do you need?
Will purchase a SSD separate most likely, otherwise 256 or 128 depending on the cost
Do you need any special hardware? (blue ray, webcam, specialty ports, etc.)
no
Is there anything else we need to know?
She wants something that looks nice and has a backlit keyboard with a numpad. She really likes how my laptop looks but I do not think that she needs to spend that much to get what she wants. That is the whole reason I am asking for some help.
Thanks a ton!
