Need to buy a new Laptop and Pc

I know nothing about pricing these days.
Anyone have any good sites to check out?

I checked out canada computers but nothing is ever in stock on there.

My nextdoor neighbour swears by 'em - usually year-old models, but great pricing for what you get. Looking at their Lenovo selection for my next purchase.

lenovos are good and they aren't huge. They are actually quite slim.

Usually PC laptops are quite bulky and have no portability considerations. The Lenovos will fit nicely in a messenger bag (15" models).

You'll be fine with those without having to lug around large machine. Also they will perform more than enough for the stuff you've requested.

I picked this up online for Boxing Day for $479... it's $499 now. But before that it was $899 regular price. The same model brand new was $1100 on the HP site.

http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/prod...r/10186530.aspx

It's a refurb, but the specs are pretty impressive for the price.

The fuckin thing has a tiny subwoofer! And the beats audio by dre or whatever that is.

Good high end option

This will future proof you for the next few years. 1080p + 6gb ram = good for photoshop. The next step up would be an IPS display which is $$$


Cheaper mid option

Less ram (cheap to upgrade though), lower resolution (standard laptop resolution), still a wicked fast processor, bigger hard drive.

Both are asus, which is the hands down the best pc laptop manufacturer.

You dont.. even refurbished macbooks with core2duos (old processor) are still going for 700-800.
