  1. # ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- #
  2. # Note: I prioritized laptops that had the following specs: #
  3. # ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- #
  4.  
  5. - 8gb of RAM or more (needed for best performance on Windows 10)
  6. - Windows operating system (Chromebooks are limited in what programs they can install)
  7. - Lightweight
  8. - Decent processor power (you don't need much)
  9. - Built-in DVD drive - some do not have it
  10. - SSD for faster streaming of local files (ie, movies etc that you have downloaded onto your pc)
  11. - Full HD resolution (1920x1080) - some do not have it
  12.

  18.  
  19. Cost: $322
  20.  
  21. Pros:
  22. - Built in DVD drive
  23. - More than enough RAM for casual gaming and movie streaming
  24. - SSD means faster load times and less likelihood of hardware drive failure
  25. - Only 2.2lbs (although elsewhere it says it's closer to 5lbs, that might be the total weight of the laptop, cord, and shipping packaging though)
  26. - Comes with Windows 10 not in S mode (ie, easier setup)
  27.  
  28. Cons:
  29. - 128gb storage (which isn't bad, but could be better)
  30. - Resolution is only 1366 x 768

  56.  
  57. Cost: $372
  58.  
  59. Pros:
  60. - 1920x1080 resolution (aka, normal HD)
  61. - More than enough RAM for casual gaming and movie streaming
  62. - SSD means faster load times and less likelihood of hardware drive failure
  63. - 256gb storage (which is about average)
  64. - Only 3.7lbs
  65.  
  66. Cons:
  67. - More expensive
  68. - Doesn't have built-in DVD drive (however, a USB DVD-player costs about $20-30)
  69. - Comes with Windows 10 in S Mode, which means if you want to install non-Windows apps, you'll need to deactivate S Mode. It's very easy to do, and I can help, but it is another setup step
