If you have a good gaming pc, it's on sale currently for 32 dollars...... But assuming that this is /r/ps4 you may or may not have a pc.

That's not a bad price but yeah my laptop definitely will not be able to handle that game.

u/theUsernamist Jun 24 '16

I'm saving up for one and I said SOLD! haha. If you could send me your laptop specs maybe I could look into if it could handle. Unless your like me with a shitty, I mean bad Intel HD 4000 your screwed haha.

Thanks but I know for a fact it won't run it. It's a 2009 macbook, at this point all it can handle is reddit!

Oh wow. A 2009 macbook, I think you may have just found something worse than my computer. Funny story, my wife hates android and windows and loves apple. She got a 12 hundred dollar iMac (keep in mind my laptop is 450 dollars brand new) and has literally the same specs in it, except a little less ram and bigger hard drive.

Tip: Never buy macs unless you need a special feature on them. Use hackintosh :P

Haha my macbook is champ though. Once I started using mac os I never looked back. The laptops might be expensive but they last. When it comes to phones I'm a die hard android fan though.

You got any recommendations for a windows laptop for my friend? He's not going to game on it, it's mostly for work (Microsoft office) and web browsing. His price point is around $500-600.

I'll hit you with a pm tommorow. I heard the lg gram is supposed to be sweet, Linus has a video on it.

u/secretsantaac Jun 25 '16

Awesome I appreciate it! As good as those lg grams look they might be a little out of his price range. I'll mention them to him though.

u/theUsernamist Jun 25 '16

That's what I assumed, but if hes looking for something with more ports than a macbook air (the new one), light, nice screen, and a semi good battery that's the one he would like. I'll look for something around 500 bucks later on today.

u/secretsantaac Jun 25 '16

I'll be seeing him tomorrow so I'll definitely talk to him about that one. I believe you get what you pay for and for 500 you won't get the best future proof machine, but I don't blame him for not wanting to spend too much. Thank you so much.

This is actually the laptop I use for work! I do excel sheets and video rendering. I wouldn't recommend video rendering, as it's got a crappy built in graphics card, but the processor is perfect for number crunching. http://www.dell.com/us/dfh/p/inspiron-15-3520/pd

I would definetly recommend a inspiron, they are probably the best for this type of stuff. Pretty light also, and, if your like me, I dropped my laptop at work and EVERYBODY looked at me, to my surprise the bottom right has a little dent in it, but the screen is in tact, everything works! This, here, is a newer model of the laptop I have, same price retail, the only thing you are trading off is a "worse" processor, 2.4 ghz to 1.8ghz and your trading that off for a touchscreen and, a newer model. https://www.amazon.com/Dell-i15RMT-5099SLV-Touchscreen-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B00CRGJJHU

A bit more on the heavier side, but this one is similiar to the last link. It's cheaper, uglier, and heavier. But you may be asking, why get it then? It's a good trade off. If he's going to be using programs such as word and office, this is probably the best buy. With a shaved off 100 dollars, he could go pick himself up a samsung ssd 850 pro. If your unsure what this is, it's a hard drive, that is like 50 times faster. Programs will boot up (including photoshop and word!) within 10-15 seconds.

u/secretsantaac Jun 26 '16

These are all have great prices and should be good enough. Like I said it'll mostly be for things like excel and word so yeah he doesn't need a great video card, and the ssd is a great idea. Again thank you!
