I'm confused.

[turtleturtle]

I need a laptop under $600-$650(around Php 30 000) and I'm also confused whether to get a desktop(at that budget I could get some budget gaming/editing pc) rather than a laptop but I really need some portability since I'm soon going to college too. 

 

Uses of the new computer will be video editing, light gaming(moba and fps).

 

Help. ;_;

Build a rig, 650 dollars isn't going to get you much for a college laptop.

 

Or save up even more cash and don't rush

Just get yourself a well-rounded mini-ITX build. Then just use the cheapest kb+mouse and a portable monitor. You'll have a beastly tower rig, with a portability of a laptop.

If so, can you recommend a mini-ITX/micro ATX build for me since I suck at researching and this is my first time I'm gonna buy computer/computer parts, and if possible a laptop recommendation for my needs. Although I have knowledge in computers, I definitely need your advice(s) because my knowledge alone is not enough.

Thanks dude, I'll check this build out because we have overpriced computer parts in Philippines.

Actually, after realising the stock Intel heatsink would fit in the SG05, you could do this:

Or the build above also, but that would be slightly large (mITX smaller than uATX)

[Paralectic]

A laptop at such price point should have an i3 with 8GB RAM and any storage solution, replace the HDD with a 240-250GB SSD and you have a cheap laptop suited for everything you want on the go except gaming.

Checking the builds, and thanks for the laptop suggestion Paralectic.
