Good laptops ?
 
Hey I'm not really that knoladged in Computer and laptop specs and exactly what every single one of them mean , I've recently acquired some money to invest into buying a laptop and was wondering if people could give me some decent suggestions. I have around £800-900 to spend which should get me a semi decent laptop ?

Depends on what you're going to use it for. I know you aren't gonna listen to me, but:
Buying for Gaming? Just don't.. Unless you're looking to spend over 1700 USD.
College/Internet Browsing? Go for one of those Chromebooks or cheap ones.
I am not here to bull****, but now I get why everybody was saying don't buy a laptop.

My experience with laptops:
I bought a HP Pavilion with 6GB of RAMs, 750GB of Storage, CPU with 2.6Ghz and HP GFX w/ 1GB for 550 USD. And I have been owning for an year now. Here's some Pros and Cons.

Pros:
- Insanely fast on start up, Only takes 10 second.
- Very fast for light browsing or loading things up.

Cons:
- Can play 3D games, but with the lowest settings and FPS between 15-30.
- Attached touchpad was so bad that I had to buy a USB gaming mouse.
- Wifi connectivity issues, it sometimes drops signal cause of cheap parts. (happened after 6month)

^- They are some major ones and probably universal common throughout laptops.

800-900 EURO seems like a decent amount of money. If you're still not convinced, then you may try MSI. They are usually priced at 1000 USD, I've never tried them though.

I need one that I will mainly use for academic, browsing purposes. Also would like it to run programs like photoshop ( maybe have a touch screen ) , aftereffect and video editing software smoothly. Also for it to be able to run small game Graal fine. I'm not looking for no pro gaming laptop

https://www.amazon.co.uk/HP-17-w005n...2231526&sr=1-9
pros: best gpu (by a small margin), imo better looks of the bunch
cons: 17" so it may be too big for you (other two are 15"), 128gb ssd


https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-Notebo...2231526&sr=1-6
pros: 256gb ssd over the msi and hp omen's 128gb
cons: 8gb ram (other two have 16gb)

https://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-GL62-10...2231526&sr=1-5
compromise between the two, smaller ssd but more ram than asus, 15".

if anyone else wants to chime in go ahead, because i only took a quick look.

they all have 1TB secondary hard drives so SSD space isnt actually a huge deal but still

Sorry if I'm hijacking this thread but I don't really want to make another one.

Are these laptops good for their price? I'm looking for a good gaming upgrade.

Out of the two you posted, I'd go with the second one. It has an SSD Card which will make sure your Laptop starts up quick smart and you've got an inbuilt 1 TB harddrive for all your files. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the first one only comes with an SSD and no hard drive which means you'll be struggling for space if you play a ton of games. You could still getthe first one if you wanted to, it just switches the i5 generation to the latest (not really a big upgrade though) and downgrades the graphics card slightly. You'd definitely want to buy an external hard drive if you do get the first one though :P
