Cheat Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I am in the process of replacing my laptop and a friendly geek has recommended one to me. I'm not particularly tech savvy when it comes to specifications and so would like some advice on whether this laptop with its specs would suffice for general academic work, a bit of video editing and some gaming,, Basically general university student use.

Hedgehog Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I would not pay $800 for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. V. Devnull Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I really don't know if that's worth the $$$... But, given how poorly that some companies are coding these days, I wouldn't expect to play RS on that. Maybe the first StarCraft, maybe UT2004, but definitely not the latest and greatest stuff. :( ~D. V. "You can thank 'Bloat Code' for my pessimism..."

Miss Lioness Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 You could build a far better PC for that price. 1 Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

D. V. Devnull Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 That laptop's a tad short in the CPU department... :( ~D. V. "It can't crank its' brains fast enough..."
