 So with Christmas upon us people have been asking me what's a great deal on a laptop So I thought I'd review and tell you the pros and cons of a few laptops I recommend for 2017 We're gonna start with the bottom cuz people say give me the cheapest deal you got well right here We have an ace or spire 14 inch which does have a decent screen on it for $199 Does have windows 10, but I will warn you with only 30 gigs of storage It's going to be impossible to really load any software on this and you're going to be very disappointed Yes, even Facebook is going to run slow. So there's a lot of people say I can just surf the web on it Yeah, but that becomes subjective because you'll watch it kind of be her key jerky just trying to scroll The 199 laptops if that's all the money you have they do work They will be an alright stocking stuffer, but they're not going to be a performance computer. So Buy or beware on these also a side note on when you buy some of these inexpensive laptops They are very cheaply made and will flex a lot and don't really hold up really really well So they generally over time not going to be your best bet Let's jump up a little bit more money only 349 now This is actually a pretty decent deal on an ace or a spire e15 You have a 15 inch no poke here four gigs of RAM and a spinning 5400 RPM hard drive So it's going to be a little faster than the other one, but not really that fast This is also going to be a lot better at surfing the web But don't expect fast boot up times and it's going to be still in the side of cheaply made So the hinges and things like that if you open and close and use this a lot not going to hold up really really well But still not a bad buy it is better than the previous one we showed there Now if you're looking for something much better the Asus Chromebook flip Yes, this is a Chromebook now if you're not familiar with the Chromebook the quickest way I can describe a Chromebook is it's a browser with a keyboard So anything that runs on the web browser will run inside of this So you can't load any software on there, but a lot of people don't need to load software They just want their apps to work or they just want to do things on the web and serve the web This is a great buy for that. My wife has one of these my daughter has one of these I really like the Asus Chromebook flips. They have been great Much like it says it works both in tablet mode and in laptop mode So this is really a nice laptop that's well made there a metal construction They hold up really well and it's reasonably fast now The other impressive thing on here is the battery life is really good So even though it's just basic and running Chrome it's instant on so when you open it up It is immediately on and you're safe from viruses with Chromebooks There's not an operating system that is easily compromised So you don't have to worry about loading all these updates everything happens in the background So it becomes a very seamless experience and once you've used a Chromebook You might kind of like it the downside is you go I want to load Microsoft Office you can use the web version of Microsoft Office But you cannot use any software on here that you load as an application So this is not good if you want to run some of the other things there But that brings us to some of the other laptops. I Am a huge fan of the Lenovo line of laptops. This is what I run myself is the Lenovo's they are slim They are light. They are really well made, but they come at a price But if you're looking for quality, this is quality. So Lenovo think pad, this is the t4 70 It's a great buy I have a slightly older model and I am thrilled with it the speed and performance and the screen really pops Wonderful resolution even though it's only 14 I have the 13 inch model and I still the screen is so crisp But even though it's small, it's really easy to read so at 13 59 It's going to be a little bit on the price your side If you're want something quality you're going to keep for a few years and is going to be able to hold up to actual use. This is a good recommendation But you may go what's a good gaming laptop? That is a little bit different because when you go to the these laptops. Yes, it's fast. Yes I could probably play some games on there, uh, but it's thin and light. So they've made some sacrifices there This on the other hand the acer predator. These are really solid laptops But they're also very big very heavy. This comes with a 15 inch screen It weighs a lot by comparison on here The acer predator is a six pound beast of a laptop So it is not lightweight but for people who want to play some games and have it portable So you can set this even on your kitchen table and get into some serious gaming It is a really nice laptop for that. These are these are really well built. They're solid And I don't think they're too unreasonably priced at thousand dollars now for a gaming laptop That's a good deal If you want to play games and they're going to be demanding These are things you need this comes built in with the g-force gtx 1060 Video card so that is an important factor because gaming is all about having the right video card But these are some quick recommendations. So when people ask I can just send this video I'll have links below to all these different laptops and where you can buy them out right on amazon And if you order now you'll be able to get them before christmas because it is currently december 11th Uh, they're all available on prime and as of right now They are in stock and or ride for christmas that will change So make a decision if you need it before christmas or wait till right after christmas and they'll probably go on sale All right, thanks for watching if you like the content here like and subscribe just want to throw some recommendations out there
