I have a HP laptop that's about 3 years old. Do you have an alternative brand that is good for standard business use and light graphic design? Want best value for money. Don't need a 10k apple pro .
just search "best laptop deals June 2022". read the reviews. should find a few good ones under $1k
Yeah, I have done that, but I thought someone in the know would have some inside information. I hate apple, because of the OS and the price. Don't trust Asus, because I've had them break many times. Not sure about the Chinese brands, as I don't have experience. The HP has served me pretty well, but I'm pretty sure I can get way better for cheaper if I go the Chinese route.
ya unfortunately that is where a lot of decent laptops are made. can try Dell, but i've personally had terrible experience from their products, but that was years ago so maybe they changed, but i never went back. Potentially a Microsoft Surface, if that will suffice for your purposes.
But no matter how you slice it even if the seller is an American name you name exactly where in the internal parts came from.
Lenovo, Acer, MSI are good machines. I typically buy a low-end gaming pc for work. something retailing at 1200-1400 on sale for 1k.
just my advice/experience. best of luck.
www.tigerdirect.com They resell retail unsold laptops as well as off lease corporate computers. I have bought from them before and got some great deals.
Thanks mate. Had a quick browse. Will def look into it further.
I honestly don't have a clue. I've got a laptop and a tablet by ASUS that -despite their quirks- have served me well. The tablet is a bit under powered but is incredibly robust physically and I used it for my sound tech gigs for about five years with few hiccups. The laptop has an issue where the boot loader gets corrupted if it experiences an unexpected power loss but I believe it's only related to kingston m.3 SSD and it's fixed with a BIOS update. Apart from that I haven't had any issues and I use it for 3D printing and light gaming. My wife has an ASUS laptop as well that she complains about but most of those issues are related to bloatware and windows 10 being windows 10. Hope that helps.
M1 MacBook Pro if you don’t need to game. It’s like $2k.
Asus
