6 Laptops for Back to School! #Helpful Post

hey guys Boston if you're looking for a

laptop for back-to-school I have a few

options you might want to consider

everything from $200 to over a thousand

first off we have this 14 inch HP laptop

now first list it looks just a little

bit old-school however a little bit over

$200 there's a lot to like here it has a

salt selection of ports with VGA

Ethernet HDMI and three USB ports now

it's a little bit weird with this guy is

it is actually cool by a fan so one of

the budget Intel laptop arfamis go over

this AMD option does enough and but

thankfully it's not too loud this guy is

powered by a quad-core AMD e 2 processor

with 4 gigabytes of RAM and 32 gigs of

emmc storage now that processor is not

going to be incredibly powerful it's

actually very similar to what's inside

the Xbox one and ps4 although obviously

in this case a little bit slower but the

important thing is it's going to be

totally fine for basic usage again this

is $200 that anti processor is a little

bit unusual on budget laptops but it's

not that bad so when it comes to more

heavy usage such as gaming it's not

going to be great but for normal stuff

like watching video it's not bad it is

nearly 4 years of the original Nintendo

- it came out what's also pretty solid

is the display so for $220 we're getting

a full 1080p IPS panel now yes it is not

quite as bright as I would like so over

for this price this is about as good as

it get it might not be a powerhouse but

if you're just looking for a budget

laptop to get the job done this is

definitely worth considering if you're

going to look at more budget to work

with

you may want to consider picking up the

asou stiva bulky 403 it's just a little

bit under $400 well it's not a huge jump

Oh with HP there are a lot of little

things that definitely add up so what if

she did a video on this last year but

it's still pretty much totally up to

date and what's nice about this guy is

that for only a little bit more than the

HP you're getting something that feels a

lot nicer now yes it is still plastic

it's thinner it's lighter and it just

feels like a more premium laptop this

guy also has a solid selection of ports

with an HDMI a USB 3 USB type-c which is

nice

you flip it over we're also going to get

an additional USB type a as well as an

SD card reader

well this might not be the most powerful

laptop in the world it can definitely

get the job done so inside it's rocking

a quad-core intel pentium processor

the Bison memory as well as 128

gigabytes of emmc storage you can't do a

bit of very light gaming on this guy but

it really is meant for more normal usage

and provide it does a good job so it

also has a solid 1080p panel with good

speakers slot trackpad keyboard there's

really no one part of this laptop that

falls apart moving on we have the Lenovo

Z 50 so this is the middle ground

between a budget laptop and substant it

can handle gaming at $370 this guy is

all about cramming the maximum amount of

specs into the cheapest possible

computer of course you guys want more

information I did a full video on this

very recently in fact most of these

laptops have already done for videos on

but there's a lot of interesting quirks

with this guy this is the biggest laptop

here with a 15.6 inch display but that's

also probably the biggest weakness as

this is only a 1366 by 768 resolution on

such a big screen it just doesn't look

great and on top of that it's a fairly

low-end TN panel which means the color

and especially viewing angles and

contrast could be a lot fatter

the upside is it has an AMD FX 7500 quad

core APU a gigabytes of RAM and Radeon

r7 integrated graphics now yes it's not

going to crush crisis at 4k but $400

you're going to be hard-pressed to fight

a more powerful gaming laptop with the

game like rocket League we're able to

get pretty solid performance so play at

760 ap which is the max resolution of

the screen on quality settings we're

doing you're between 40 to 50 frames per

second I can actually hit the ball oh

oh isn't the ball like toy toy

camera totally got to go in it's

definitely not perfect but if you're

just looking for pure bang for the buck

performance you should check it out

stepping up the budget a little bit we

have the Lenovo Y 700 at $750 what I

like about this is that even though it's

a gaming laptop it's actually nicely

well rounded with the 14th display it's

still somewhat portable but you have

plenty of room for gaming

and I should really like the look of it

a lot of gaming laptops can be a little

bit over the top with this it's actually

a fairly subtle design inside it has

fairly powerful specs with an Intel Core

i7 6700 HQ quad core processor 16

gigabytes of ddr4 memory as well as

dedicated Radeon r9 370 M graphic trim

to get into a game like overwatch this

is totally playable so on 1080p on

medium settings we're going to area

between 40 to 60 frames depending on how

much

actions going on or regardless this is

very much playable this guy also has a

256 gigabyte into SSD pair with a 1

terabyte hard drive when you put it all

together not only doesn't saw laptop for

taking with you every day but it can

definitely handle from gaming moving

away from gaming we had the LG gram 13

at $1000 so there's a lot to like with

this guy it is hands-down my favorite

ultra bolt right now one of the main

reasons for that is that while it's not

only super light it also has very very

small bezels on the display making this

incredibly portable the gran comes in 13

14 and 15 inch screen sizes but

regardless you're getting a really nice

looking 1080p IPS panel color contrast

especially viewing angles that are going

to be on point and most of them the

search engine included also come with a

touchscreen I said a lot of times before

with Windows 10 a touchscreen laptop

just makes sense specs are fairly

standard for an ultrabook it has a core

i5 7200 u processor a gigabytes of RAM a

256 gigabyte SSD this of course is not a

gaming PC but it's pretty snappy for

normal use now on top of the screen

being nice it's also outfitted with a

nice keyboard especially solid trackpad

with Windows precision drivers and this

model also comes with a fingerprint

sensor the real star of the show here is

always battery light so LG claims that

it can last up to 15 hours on a charge

and that's not crazy with that 60 watt

hour battery I have never killed it in a

single day so if you're looking for a

laptop then only had solid battery life

it's also super portable

check out the LG gram insane category we

have the brand new Microsoft Surface pro

which ranges anywhere from $100 to a lot

a lot more so this might seem like a

little bit of a weird choice but I

actually think the surface would make a

lot of sense for back-to-school so yes

it is definitely a tablet and because

that's going to be nice and portable but

once you put the actual tight cover on

it this is not a bad laptop replacement

you're getting incredibly nice Hardware

here everything is made out of metal

especially once you pull out the type

cover and pop the kickstand what you're

seeing here is that there's a ton of

flexibility it is really really well

filled this guy comes in quite a few

different configurations but the one I

have here is the mid spec model with the

core i5 eight gigs of ram and 286 takes

of SSD storage now what's cool is the

qualifies here is actually going to be

familis so all these are going to be

nice and quiet on top of that is crazy

battery life 13 and a half hours it also

has the best screen here with a 12 point

three inch pixel sense display

which of course is not only touchscreen

but also supports the new surface pen it

also has some cool other features like

facial login with Windows hello and of

course you get the whole thing a tablet

package so yes it can be a little bit

pricy especially once you add the actual

keyboard which is basically not even an

option but the surface pro is definitely

worth a look if you're going back to

school as always I will have links to

all these laptops in the description and

I've also been dedicated videos on a lot

of them so feel free to go check those

out and I'm curious which one of these

laptops would you pick up let me know in

the comments below and I will catch you

in the next one
