Really need some laptop buying help!

ttmirror

i'm getting a laptop of little woods and i have no bloody idea what im supposed to be doing or what im supposed to be looking for its a tonne of numbers and letters to me but im hoping you guys can help me out!!

Baseically i have an acer aspire 9300 and it was clearly made in cavemen times and takes 25 minutes to even load a web page and wont even play hd!!

My main uses for my laptop will be heavy internet searching (i'm a blogger so i spend alot of time online!) so i want it to be fast!! i'm also a youtube and i want it to actually function when im trying to edit a HD video so for editing purposes and watching things in HD. I also watch a huge amount of netflix on my laptop so i want it to have good sound and storage.

That is majorly what i use my laptops for surfing the web, editing and watching a massive amount of netflix and youtube! I also do alot of photo editing on photoshop

I've no idea what storage im looking at im thinking 1TB might be the best but its more the other settings it comes with that im interested in and need to know about.

if you could let me know, or if you know of another one on their site that would be better please let me know. Not like a grand or anything i do have to pay this back lol

Just a side not i do know these are stupidly expensive but im going to be paying it off in the interest free period
TYIA!!

Online doesnt need fast. If this site opens 1 second faster on the pc computer compared to your old one i would be surprised. Unless its got less than 256mb RAM.

Your internet connection is more important for internet speed.

Same with the wont play HD. If your screen can display 1280 pixels it can do HD.

1TB hard drive wont help with streaming video that you wont be storing on the hard drive.

How much space have you used on your current system?

Indeed your laptop isn't as bad as you might think, but you should learn to do some basic maintenance. It's also the fact that it's only fitted with 1GB of RAM.

My laptop is similarly old and the spec only a little better. But here I am with around 30 Tabs open and listening to music at the same time.
720p video is also not a problem.

What you need to do is to take a copy of all of your important data and to move it elsewhere. Then to upgrade the RAM(takes minutes) and to run a clean install, without installing ACER bundled software.

Opening pages will be back to seconds and video, no problem.

£8.99 for the RAM here

If you are feeling particularly emboldened by your fitting of the RAM, I can guide you through an OS upgrade.

Plus this machine has slightly better specs, as it can run Windows AERO.
