Laptop purchase

    Hi,

    Anything wrong with this?

    Over in UK, seems like a deal to me.

    I have a i5 3750 in my desktop, benchmark seems to be a bit quicker in this laptop and I'd be happy if that translates to real world performance. I do video editing and photo editing but am ok with it being a bit slow (which my desktop is)

    I've read through the threads and it had 1920 res, 8gb, same as desktop, ssd size looks ok to me. I read someone mention tn as the screen type as not optimal but if it's just viewing angle I can live with that.

    Any reason not to?

    Thanks in advance

    it's fine.

    if you're video editing you'd benefit from upgrading the ram yourself to 16gb

    buy a 16gb ddr4 sodimm on amazon uk for about 60 euro and sell the 8gb one that you take out for 25/ 30 on adverts or somewhere like that.

    you won't notice a major speed increase over your desktop I would say tbh unless you didn't have an ssd in your desktop

    You won't notice any speed difference over your desktop unless you don't have an ssd in your desktop. people commonly mistake ssd speed for overall computer speed.
