So I've been pretty much living off my phone for over 3 years now. I do have a mini ASUS laptop/tablet which has a keyboard attachment but it's just not the same as a full laptop or desktop. For one thing, it has 32GB of storage that already comes 1/2 full without anything installed. Which means I can't install anything except the most basic apps and it's mostly used for simple Word or Excel or online. It's also dying so I need a new laptop anyways.

If I need to do anything else like photoshop, I drive 30min to my parents house. I've just come from there and OMG it's soooo nice to have a normal screen again that's not a cellphone.

I'm so out of this technology thing, any recommendations for what I should be looking for in a new laptop? The most taxing thing would probably be photoshop or Painter or like... YouTube. I'm not a gamer, I don't particularly need speed. I'd probably like a budget about $1k but it's flexible.

I had done a bit of research about half a year ago but now I'm assuming that's all old information, and anyways I've forgotten it. Any help would be appreciated

Check sites like newegg, too. You could probably find a refurbished model or something like that for a song.

@eliechan: your welcome and good luck.

@eliechan: I got my current desktop as a refurb from newegg about three years or so back, and it's been pretty good.

Only downside is if I want to play anything demanding, I'd have to upgrade the video card and power supply. So no FF XIV for me, lol. :vanora_sweat:

@eliechan: glad to help if you need anything else just ask
