I wanna get a computer. Any advice?

10.9k bspboy  7.6 years ago

So. I want to get a computer. If I do I will get rid of my iPad, so I would prefer a laptop so it is portable. Especially for homework. I would like it to run simple planes fairly well along with some other games. I also don't want it too cost very much, since I am just a student. Any tips one I should get? Thanks!

    Make sure it has atleast an i7 proc, 2 cores atleast. 8gb is great, and try getting a 1tb hd. I got one for 575 and its extremely quick, runs up to, even, 10 programs responsively for hours on end. Oh, and make sure it has a good graphCard

    Would you sell your iPad? That'll boost your budget.

    Desktops are usually less expensive than laptops with the same performance, so perhaps look into those, and if you're fixed on a laptop... just make sure it's not ancient and will actually run simple things

    @jfriss I'm pretty sure it doesn't though... how I know? I've set up my computer to warn me if the mic or camera is in use (through other programs) and it would be violating many laws... and Windows would have one big lawsuit against them.
    Edit: I read up on it, it's not like they want to know who you are, or what you like, it's to help catch people using the software for malicious uses (such as... you guessed it, hacking)

    don't get Windows 10, get something like Windows 7 because Windows 10 has a bunch of stuff that spies on you, like listing to your mic, watches your web cam and sends it strait to Windows
