Ronin1069Looking for a laptop - a little help?
Trying to find a new laptop for the GF.
She bought a Chromebook and is going to return it because it just isn't powerful enough.
She is going to use it for business and needs it to:
- Be able to run Facebook and Instagram (she communicates with clients here).
- Use Office 360
- Camera capable
- Wants a larger HD for storing pics.
I'm assuming it will need more RAM due to the background stuff Facebook is always running?
Her phone and tablet are Samsung; should we go with Samsung laptop as well?
Would they 'sync' the way Mac products do?
Budget is $800, possibly higher if really necessary.
Will likely buy from Best Buy.
Thoughts?
