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 fuck 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
