Basic! Talk to Kyle. He’s who I look down to when I need computer advice.

Basic! How much photo and video editing? These are triggers for a Mac product depending on the level of need.

These are great, just get one with SSD hard drive. Lenovo are good too. We sell only business laptops and mostly Dell Latitude and Lenovo, not a fan of HP.

I have had great luck with them.
A Democracy is when two wolves and a lamb vote on the dinner menu. That is why this country was specifically not designed as a Democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic.

This Jason, I buy these for my work laptops and have never had a problem. Doing video editing you might fill up the 512GB hard drive pretty quickly, but easy fix with external drive. No games. Email, internet, some video/photo editing, Microsoft Office.

They take a dump in a short period of time compared to a desktop. This gateway desktop I'm typing on right now I got new in 2013. I would lean towards a pad with Mircosoft office capabilities over a laptop all day.

My wife and I have had great luck with Asus. I think we've had 4 or 5 and they usually last 4-5 years.

I talked Mojo72 about a laptop for my son that he was selling with Office installed. Good price on a typical work laptop. My son ultimately wanted a MacBook Air. If you want a good basic functional $400 laptop, talk to Mojo72. If you want to do more with video/photos and have it all integrated with your iPhone and Apple ID, get the MacBook Air. It's on sale for $1000 at Costco right now. MacBook

I understand that most of the people that do video/photo editing are the "influencer" crowd, most of which are millennial hipster types that go MAC instead of PC just to be different. I use a $4500 Alienware PC for my graphics/web/video editing, but I've also used my Surface Laptop with same results just slower than the Alienware.

Do you go cheap or "basic" on your guns?
Remember, you get what you pay for.
Go to Best Buy, tell the guy who REALLY knows computers what you want. He will show you a few choices. Get the GEEK squad coverage and GOOD spyware. Helps keep the porn from crashing it.
Best tell him you are tough on your toys too.

Agree with KRoyal. Though don't get me wrong Apple hardware is solid, but it's not always the answer. Jason doesn't need an MAC trust me on this. He uses android phone anyway.

I totally agree on the difference between the AW and MacBook. But as far as similar priced laptops out there the PC's will edit video/photos just as well as the MAC. Like Mickey said, Apple makes solid hardware and really their software is pretty solid as well. I love my iphone and ipad, I tried android once and paid $600 to pay off my brand new phone just so I could trade it in on a iPhone. I hated the android phone.
