My budget for the new computer is: $600-650ish
Size: 15-16 inches is good for me
What are the primary uses for this computer (IE: mail, web browsing, programming, games, etc)? basic school needs plus some lite gaming. My college tells me that I need 4gb ram and an i5 processor.
What software do you intend on using on the computer? nothing special
Do you play games? If so, what type of games? Yes. Combat arms and minecraft type games
Do you tend to have a lot of programs running at the same time, or do you close every program when you are done using it? I usually close everything, although I would prefer to be able to leave more things up
Do you store a lot of pictures or music on the computer? Not much. I don't think I will need anything more than a 500gb of space
There are so many options out there, and many sites offer student discounts. I am not sure where I should go for the best deal.
