Reply to Buying non-DJ Windows Laptop - Advice Needed.

Ok I know this guy and he has this weird rash on his penis, it's not me it's my mate.... joking.

Genuinely my sister needs a new PC laptop. Let's start here with IT HAS TO BE WINDOWS and it cannot be a MAC.
Anyone that posts about Parallels or a Window partition will be ignored. Stick to the brief.

She's in the UK and wants a reliable and cheapish laptop that she for general surfing, pictures, home movie storage, music, watching DVDS etc.

Believe it or not she's a senior systems analyst at one of the UK's biggest television/phone/internet providers but has no idea what is on the market cus she just uses works systems and I am useless cus I havent bought a Win box in nearly 15 years.


I know she should avoid Toshiba from what I have read on the NI community (obvs she wont be running Traktor) and Dell are shite in my own experience.

I hear you guys talk about Asus quite a lot and Lenovo.

She doesnt need 8 billion GB ram or an i276 processor she just wants a reliable laptop that is of a current mid-high standard. She prefers a 17" though.

She is trying to avoid the typical PC World bloated laptop that comes with a free desk, printer, camera and student.

She just wants a decent Win laptop but these days that seems like a tough ask as the market is flooded with bundles and packages.

You are the guys to ask.

So please keep it Win, keep it realistic
