| If you're doing any video editing I'd strongly suggest an i5 processor over the i3's. Over the life of the machine the dollar vs performance isn't worth the savings. While hard drive space and memory can be revisited with minimal expense at a later time a processor upgrade is more painful.
You want a solid state drive (SSD), if you can swing it, as your main drive (where your operating system resides). This might bump your machine up a tier in cost.
Budget machines tend to come with the memory slots filled with cheaper (smaller capacity) sticks requiring completely replacement rather than augmentation (adding sticks) to increase the available memory. Something to keep in mind.
You could do something like *refurbished warning* https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883285932
Hard drive is really cramped on that, but that's fixable. Not going to do gaming or CAD on that, either. | |
