Hi, I am looking for a new laptop for file managing, playing music and other light load work. I need either an i5 or an i7 (i5 should be sufficient) and 8gb of ram and 2-4TB of storage. If anyone has good recommendations between $500-$1000 i'd like to see them because rn this opens the door to so many models that I don't know where to start looking

I am also considering getting a big external Hard Drive because from the little research I have done, no on really makes a laptop with more than 1TB of storage. Because of that, I am starting to consider a macbook air due to its robustness in OS and because it has all the ports I need, but I could also get something similar for about half the price on windows. Stil looking

As i can see, all XPSs are using LPDDR3 RAM and none of them have 2-4TB internal storage.

Macbooks are good too, but I personaly like windows and linux more than MAC OS.

Macbooks Airs are outdated garbage. The screens haven't been updated since they've been released, which has been a LONG TIME.  They're impossible to fix yourself, they don't have the same aesthetic as the rest of the Macbooks, and they aren't useful for anything except typing out documents and such.

 

Get an XPS.
