    Laptop Guidance

    Hiyo! So the laptop I currently have is literally falling apart. No I've never dropped it, but screws came loose and well just vanished throughout time and now the two pieces of plastic keeping the screen together are opening up and wires are poking out. Another sad thing is that my laptop isn't close-able, what happens is that when I attempt to do so, pieces fall out of the open space between the screen. Due to my laptop falling apart, I was hoping to find some recommendations on some laptops from you guys and gals.

    I'll leave a list of what kind of things I'm looking for in a laptop and what it could support, and I'm hoping to not spend so much money.

    Honestly, I don't know anything about what the best computer is and such, but I'm better at understanding it "internally." Mikey come help plis. <3
    MIKEY YOU HAVE BEEN SUMMONED

    What I'm looking for:
    -I'll probably be needing something that could support art-based programs, like photoshop.
    -And film editing programs.
    -Fast
    -Under $500
    -OH AND A LAPTOP THAT CLOSES. HUH.

    Not necessary, but would be nice to have:
    -To support my lovely League of Legends game<3
    -Steam
    -A graphics card

    Well, I am no geek, but I'd say to get a 8-16GB RAM.
    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-envy-...&skuId=4632100

    1TB Hard Drive? Not bad!! But is very pricey...

    Most of the laptops in Best Buy is pricey.. ;-;
    Computer Science major? I don't know. What's GS2?

    Lenovo Z50

    This laptop is pretty good for what you looking for, and the price is good.

    Took the liberty of researching the best computers on the market, and I'll be quite honest, I didn't find many good laptops that fit your needs at under 500.

    The possible best one is either the one Zernov suggested, but if you can save a bit more cash, your best pick is the Dell Inspiron 15

    Possibly one of the best gaming PCs at a reasonable price. Its got everything, 8 GB ram, 1TB of space for your hen-, oh wait you're Tricky, not Kendrick, uhhh, I mean for your office work.

    The link above will give you all the specs. Check it out ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°
