Posted May 22, 2015 Hi, I live in Southern California (USA). I'm looking for a laptop for anywhere up to and around $1000 Looks are pretty important for me in this case,as I plan on using it for business and would like to have an attractive computer. I will be doing some light video editing, gaming, and streaming (likely no more than 1080p) In the end, I probably at most need to be able to play some games on low/medium settings, have a good wifi connection, stream video, and load websites quickly. The budget isn't all too important, just as long as it isn't much more than $1000, and no more than $1100. Once again, Southern California, moderately powerful notebook/laptop/ultrabook (I don't understand the differences between them, sorry) within a reasonable budget. I would prefer it new, but would be willing to buy a used/refurbished if it's well certified. Thanks for help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 22, 2015 Sorry, I didn't mean stream to twitch. I meant youtube, Netflix, etc. Oh well literally anything will do that. linovo y50 is a decent choice try to find one with the upto date 900 series graphics card in it though. Honestly I wouldn't. I have a Y40, it comes with tons of bloat, there customer service is the worst, and the fans in my unit failed after 6 months.

Posted May 23, 2015 Can't go wrong with a ThinkPad if you're looking to be businesslike and have something durable. T440P with a 730m and 8GB of ram is right about 1 grand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the specs I'm seeing, but damn that's a blocky laptop. Though with what's in it, I think that may be the best choice I've seen yet.
