Hello to anybody who is nice enough to read and help me out with this. It’s been discussed very frequently between my mother, my grandmother, and myself about getting a laptop for me for Christmas and for my Birthday (Dec. 30). Now lately my mother has been thinking more about the idea and would think it would be good for the both of us if we got one for us. So the idea of a laptop is supposed to be a "surprise" so I won’t know until Christmas or my Birthday. Now my mom being the early shopper she is, she wants me to make sure I write down what I want specifically the laptop to have. You know, I never thought about it until now because I never thought she’d actually consider it! So I’ve been looking online and in catalogs at all the different brands of laptops and all the little "features" and honestly I don’t know what they are talking about with some of the stuff. So I’ve come to you incredibly smart people to help me out a little if you would be so kind.
Now my main uses for this laptop would be the following :
- School Stuff - reports, essays, book reports which I’m always getting a lot.
- My mom would use it to take care of documents and work stuff and contact her family in Germany.
- Internet stuff like Myspace, IM, Fan Fiction - yes I write a ton of little short stories and stuff.
- Graphic making stuff. Yes I do make little signatures, wallpapers, and I’m starting to make layouts which I made my own not too long ago. I would most likely have my Gimp and my Corel PSP on there.
- iTunes
- Now my biggest concern with some people have told me is what I love to use my computer for….the Sims! Yes, yes I play the addicting Sims games and if you haven’t heard already there’s the awesome Sims 3 coming out in January which I’m saving my own money for. Now I heard something about the Sims using up a lot of memory on the laptop and I even heard people saying that it lags too much on a laptop. So my one thing I worry is not having a laptop where I can play my favorite computer game on.
So that’s pretty much my main uses for the laptop, as for my mom’s uses I stated before that it would be pretty much for work.
Now I need your help in perhaps reccomending any laptop that would be good for all my needs and my two main ones graphic making and Sims 3 playing. Give me any information you can give me basically. What brands should I look for? What are ones I should stay away from? That kind of stuff.
Also as for price of a laptop….try to please keep it under a ,000 perhaps?
So that’s all I need help with. If I can get any help with this I would appreciate it so much.
