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

- Cost: $322
- Pros:
- - Built in DVD drive
- - More than enough RAM for casual gaming and movie streaming
- - SSD means faster load times and less likelihood of hardware drive failure
- - 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)
- - Comes with Windows 10 not in S mode (ie, easier setup)
- Cons:
- - 128gb storage (which isn't bad, but could be better)
- - Resolution is only 1366 x 768

- # Option 3 #
- # ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- #
- Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QFNNJQ9
- Cost: $372

- - 1920x1080 resolution (aka, normal HD)
- - More than enough RAM for casual gaming and movie streaming
- - SSD means faster load times and less likelihood of hardware drive failure
- - 256gb storage (which is about average)
- - Only 3.7lbs
- Cons:

- - Doesn't have built-in DVD drive (however, a USB DVD-player costs about $20-30)
- - 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
