    I thought 4 500 would be max for budget 😭…..

  2. Matt Wolf on October 19, 2020 at 3:21 pm

    These are all expensive, if you just need basic tasks done (Netflix, PowerPoint, Word, Email, web browsing with only a few tabs open etc) you could find a cheap HP laptop for around $300 and be fine with it. If you are wanting to do more complex stuff like photoshop, video editing or some low end gaming than that’s when you want the ones in those video.

    1:10 speaking of "face"…dude, that beard is about to aggressively take over yours!

    Anyone has a recommendation for less than $600 laptops?

  8. Typical Tilly on October 19, 2020 at 3:30 pm

    Thanks for listing prices. Useless video

  9. Oleg on October 19, 2020 at 3:31 pm

    Didn’t like anything. Didn’t like keyboards, didn’t like cursor buttons. No interesting in Chromebooks and transformers.

  10. Somnus on October 19, 2020 at 3:33 pm

    Jesus I already knew I was poor but this really just beat me to the ground about it.

  11. Martin B. on October 19, 2020 at 3:36 pm

    729$ is not budget and a tablet with an attachable keyboard is not a laptop. unsubscribed.

  12. AbdEl Leon Cooper on October 19, 2020 at 3:36 pm

    Such an excellent presentation! I’ve learned much from this video about how to properly edit a video presentation for length and information offered all the while giving a personal feel as well. Just a fantastic job on this one 🙂

  14. Maen M. on October 19, 2020 at 3:38 pm

  15. Wayne sakakeeny on October 19, 2020 at 3:40 pm

  20. Mazin almaimani on October 19, 2020 at 3:50 pm

    Worst laptop i ever bought is Dell

  21. Jack F on October 19, 2020 at 3:50 pm

    I would NOT go for the IdeaPad Flex 5, the hinges have a bad design that flex the display a lot when pushing it up or down.

  22. alex fabre on October 19, 2020 at 3:55 pm

    Missed Huawei matebook series.

  23. Tranquility on October 19, 2020 at 3:55 pm
