WHat computer? I think the cheap one is good..

HI,

I found few offers here, they are in Polish, but I'm sure you can understand the main components, and if not, you got website translate.

I'm buying in PLN currency.

Here are few computers i found, random, but i mean, i just want to do front-end stuff, Sass, JS, Gulp.. that's all.. that's all.. write simple code..

So I was wondering, do you think these cheap computers for like 1.5k PLN are ok? and they shoudl last 3-4 years anywas right? As my grandmother want's to buy it after i get a better one, but why woudl my grandmother need a computer with i5 and such in the first place.

I'm sure i3 for me to write code on it will be alright. I will probably look for good ram, 8GB? I have , or people in web dev million tabs open, that can be a problem lol

My website is http://aurelianspodarec.co.uk/ so it's not that i do who know what kind of APPS, jsut front-end stuff.

ANd here are the offers i found.

  1. https://mediamarkt.pl/komputery-i-tablety/laptop-hp-250-g5-x0p41es
  2. https://mediamarkt.pl/komputery-i-tablety/notebook-lenovo-ideapad-100-15ibd-80qq00btpb
  3. https://mediamarkt.pl/komputery-i-tablety/notebook-lenovo-ideapad-100-15ibd-80qq00hppb

And this one here is the almost twice as expensive and twice as good

https://mediamarkt.pl/komputery-i-tablety/laptop-acer-aspire-f5-573g-51nx-bialy

But i mean, im against that computer i don't think i need it.

Have Sass, have JS, have gulp whatever.. have terminal, maybe homestead when doing wordpress , what a comand line, I will instal Ubunon on it.

Please tell me what computer to get, because im seriously to pic the 1.5k computer or 300pounds and sure that's gonna be enough.

I know there is another post i made on this like few weeks ago, but here is specific and i need to know it like, now. I'm confident in the cheap ones seriously, but then people here say don't buy a computer that's cheaper than 2.5k and he has college/university finishe dand such.. and I'm like in my mind.. I don't care what he says.. i know what is a processor or whatever.. but I'm with my grandomther and someone else, and i don't even think they know what they want me to buy, as 1.5k woudl be enough for sure.. 2.5k would be wasted money. I'm pretty sure, but now i need some sort of confmirmation from someone that knows this stuff better than I do so I don't look like an idiot when i go talk to him.. as i'm not as much into hardware but i know the basics of it.. and if i need a computer like that i don't see any reason why my grandmother woudl beed twice as better.

Kevin Korte , Hi, could you tell me about the computer please, the links i send you, if you coudl at least read the middle, if you're awake : p

I'm really sure the cheap ones are enough.Let's cut the video editing, i will post my vidoes without editing, i just need anything to get throw without a computer.

I just want to do front-end stuff, like you know : p but the only person I Trust is you and probably others here at Treehouse, not some people

I have plenty of experience with PC/Laptops that are Windows/Linux OS based and all I can say is that I would never buy something from Lenovo. They have something weird going on lately with their hardware.

Hardware aside, I think you overthink it. any laptop will fit your needs that you specified. The rest will be mostly about convenience, how the screen looks, how the keyboard feels etc.

Om, exactly. I don't overthink it, but people on my side do, and so I'm just overthinking it xd

I'm going to get a 1.5kPLN or 300pounds PC then, why need a stronger pc to run a text editor, pre processor and such lol it's just people areound me are a bit ignorant and they follow advice what someone from the shop said to buy a computer min 2.5kPLN ehh..

So I was right about it, so i stick to what I , and you said.

Thanks :)

I tend to agree with Michael Afanasiev regarding Lenovo. I work at a job where we have multiple Lenovo laptops, and what I've experienced is pervasive problems regarding the bridge that contains the contact to the hard drive slowly separating from the motherboard. I'm hoping this is something they're working on, but I would recommend avoiding them at present.

Oh, the mark, It's probably going to me ASUS or ACER i suppose, as that's what I see majority here in Poland. I had Asus time ago , the only problem is screen but I don't know, I'm affraid of windows in general : d and that was few years ago n the first place.

So I'm gonna look for a 1.5k PLN pc and avoid the company or whatever it is in english Lenovo.
