Hey everyone since Christmas has came and went, I've gotten money to buy myself something and I've chosen a new laptop, except I know nothing about specs and am totally confused on what's a good buy! The first laptop is a bit much but eh we'll see. My Price range is higher $300s and lowers $400s. If these aren't any good find me a good one! I like the Toshiba I listed too!
