I need to replace my beloved ASUS Vivobook, which has a broken hinge and is probably not worth trying to find someone to fix it. So I'm looking for suggestions.
1. What is your budget? Hoping to spend no more than $1,000.
2. What is the size of the notebook that you are considering? 15.6"
3. What screen resolution do you want? I don't know anything about it. I do want a nice sharp screen.
4. Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop? I need a lightweight, slim, portable.
5. How much battery life do you need? Not sure. I mostly use the laptop at home, plugged in.
6. Do you want to play games with your laptop? If so then please list the games that you want to with the settings that you want for these games. (Low,Medium or High)? I don't do games.
7. What other tasks do you want to do with your laptop? (Photo/Video editing, Etc.) Photo editing (Photo Elements). Libre Office.
8. How much storage (Hard Drive capacity) do you need? At least 512 GB. Would like SSD.
9. If you are considering specific sites to buy from, please post their links. No specific sites.
10. How long do you want to keep your laptop? Well, I'd like it to outlive my ASUS, when lasted 2 years.
11. What kind of Optical drive do you need? DVD ROM/Writer,Bluray ROM/Writer,Etc ? Don't need one.
12. Please tell us about the brands that you prefer to buy from them and the brands that you don't like and explain the reasons. I bought the ASUS because a relative told me they make good laptops, but I'm not sure if I'd buy another one because of the broken hinges that lots of people are complaining about. If ASUS makes laptops that are not prone to the hinge problem, I'd consider it. I loved how lightweight, slim, and fast the ASUS was.
13. What country do you live in? USA.
14. Please tell us any additional information if needed. I'm not tech savvy. I don't know which brands are good quality these days. But I know I want a laptop with a fast processor. That's important. My ASUS has a i5 but I don't know the details.
TIA for any suggestions or recommendations. I've been without my laptop for about 5 weeks, waiting for it to be fixed by MicroCenter. I realize it's not going to happen.
