She's on a tight budget and looking for gaming/school.
Everything I find has some silly flaw, like only 2gb of ram, a crappy 5400 rpm hdd, i7, or a poorly laid out keyboard. But then they'll waste money on an i7 for a gaming branded laptop. Just weird, unless I'm missing something.
Basically what I think she'd like is something like this:
-i5 with good clock speed
-GTX 850m or better. Honestly I think shed be happy with something as old as a 500 series, but i cant find these anymore.
-6+ GB ram, ddr3. Why waste money on ddr4?
-7200 rpm hdd, hybrid ssd or standalone would be cool but I dont think itd fit in her budget.
-ips display, 1080p, at about 15". I hear ips displays are the ones to get
-standard keyboard layout that has some kind of tactile feedback. So many laptops nowadays have paper thin keyboards which are a pain to use.
She's looking to spend no more than 1000 usd.
I swear it should be possible, but all the manufacturers seem to waste money on one thing or another.
