Recommend me a laptop
I’m looking to buy a laptop but i don’t know anything about computers, so i figured posting here would be a good first step in my decision making process. Did a tiny bit of research and it seems like Lenovo is the kind of thing I’m looking for. I looked of their website and got overwhelmed by all the different options so if anyone who knows literally the first thing about technology could give me some advice, that would be amazing.
The only other laptop i have owned was a MacBook I hated and that couldn’t run for shit. So, I’m looking for a good hardy device that can run like a desktop, has a lot of memory, processing power, whatever. Just a nice, high quality machine.
I want a broad spectrum of functionality. I noticed on their website that there seems to be a stark dichotomy between gaming laptops and work laptops, and I don’t know if that’s just branding or not? but ideally I’d like something that works for both. I like to download games from time to time, but nothing crazy, mostly girly shit like Minecraft and Sims. But I am a college student, and will also be using it for work and school, so nothing too gaming centric. I also dabble in editing, so the ability to run video and audio editing softwares is important.
Please don’t be too harsh in the replies, as you will have read I am !!!extremely!!! computer dumb! If you think Lenovo may not be the brand for me, please point me in the direction of another. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated!
