I am looking to buy a new laptop for graduate school.
Price range up to $1000, preferably as low as possible but if it's well worth it, I by no means have a problem spending a little extra.
I basically need:
15.6 inch-17 inch screen - preferrably a 17 inch but if its much more expensive than a 15.6 inch is fine
Microsoft Office Student Home and I want the laptop to work quickly and have plenty of memory because every time I buy a laptop it seems like a year later, it is really slow and I am told you need more memory.
Gaming is a non-factor
A couple of questions:
1) Is 500 GB of memory that much superior to 250 GB to warrant the extra money or for my purposes should it not matter?
2) I was recommended by one of the main laptop websites to use the Intel i-5 processor although it seems that most of the laptops are equipped with the i-3? is there a noticeable difference here?
Some recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
