A fresh gaming and work laptop for my wife!
A fresh gaming and work laptop for my wife!
Hey everyone! I just acquired a Legion 7i at a recent Best Buy discount for around 800 dollars. I'm looking for a similar laptop for my wife that she can use for work—something simple like Google Analytics and video calls—and for gaming at decent speeds (co-op shooters, RPGs, etc.).
Here’s what I’m thinking:
1. Budget: 800-1000 dollars
2. Notebook size: 15-17 inches
3. Screen resolution: 1080p is acceptable
4. Portability: A portable model would be best, not too heavy
5. Battery life: At least 5 hours is enough
6. Gaming: Yes, I want to play games on it. Preferred settings are medium-high: CoD, It Takes Two, WoW, etc.
7. Other uses: Email, video calls, light photo/video editing
8. Storage: 1-2TB drive, plus an extra SSD would be nice
9. Preferred retailers: Please share links if you have any
10. Longevity: I’d like to keep it for at least 3-4 years
11. Optical drive: Not sure—would you mind if it’s DVD ROM/Writer or Bluray ROM/Writer?
12. Brand preferences: I have a good experience with Lenovo, but no strong favorites
13. Country: USA
14. Any extra details? If it’s dusty pink, rose gold, or white would be great!
