Need Advice, Buying new laptop!

[shahinpb]

Hey Guys,

I'm trying to get a new laptop for my cousin. She only need it for her school just for doing homework and watching movies (such as youtube, upload video and etc...). So what are your recommendation? My budget is around $300-$800 for that, so I really appreciate hearing your thoughts.

There isn't much difference, just get a reputable brand and make sure it has a ssd.
You should get at least an i3-6100U and 4GB of ram. Also make sure you know what type of display you want: mat or glossy, personally I wouldn't buy a laptop with a glossy display. I owned a glossy monitor once and I had to sell it since it was giving me headaches.
