Morning Qlers,

I would really appreciate those who have had experience on different laptops. I will be soon buying a new laptop but i cant seem to find something suitable for me. I need a laptop that would be easy to use, not as pricey and would mostly be used for photoshop, movie watching and music.

If you had any experience on laptops i would appreciate the bulk info on them and maybe also with pricing if you may please.

Thanks in advance

hi there! if its Photoshop, movie watching and music, that you need, you could go for 14" laptops with a 2GB ram, 200GB+ hard disk( if you need store movies/ Data) and processor 2GHz or higher( preferably Intel Series). I would recommend brands - Toshiba (Satellite series), HP or Dell. These so far are reliable comparatively.

Macbooks and Toshiba are the top brands (and ofcourse the most expensive)

HP and Dell are the best hard workers with great stamina, sufficient capabilities and reasonable price

Acer and LG are the cheapest

Other brands like Compaq and Asus are not that popular, so i can't recommend any of them

ther's nothin' like perfect laptop but there is compromises

I would recommend macbook but it's pricy

Otherwise go for HP, I have an HP that is still runnning 24/7 since I bought it 1y ago (kinda silent low power download machine) it's still rock solid.

I have an HP Pavilion DV9000 - 17" wide screen and Nvidia graphics card. I use it for photo work and it's great.
