Hi. 

My current laptop is too slow for me to do any work, so I'd like to upgrade.

My budget is $700, but it can increase if your recommendation is truly worth it.

I'll be using the laptop for school work, internet use, and watching anime.

I'd prefer if it was ultra slim and not so big.

Thanks in advance.

Do you need any specific hardware? what do you do at school? any demanding tasks in which you need really good specs?

-I'd prefer to have a Windows OS

-Being more specific with personal uses, I'd do animation and art

-I'm not sure how demanding the tasks are to match a preferable choice....but all I ask for is a fast processor and 8 GB of ram (or more, if possible)

 

Frankly, after thinking for a bit, I think a PC is my best choice, since I can get the most performance from it.

Though I think portability is essential... what are your thoughts? PC or laptop?

depends how much you value portability. if you need it, then laptop is the ONLY choice.

 

for 700, go on Dell Outlet, find some last gen business laptops like the Dell 7370 or 7470
