Hi there,
I am in the market for a new laptop. It will be used for day-to-day email/web/office stuff and development tasks, i.e. writing Java/python/C (for Arduinos). No gaming.
I want something with a reasonable CPU, 16GB of RAM, mid-size screen (15-17"), and a SSD. I just upgraded my work PC to be SSD based and can't believe the improvement in usability - so want to replicate that on my personal laptop.
The problem is, I am finding it very difficult to find anywhere that will sell one of these mid-level laptops, with SSD. It only seems like the top-of-the-line laptops have SSD included. I only want to spend about $1500 max.
Is this just the way it is? I will need to buy and install the SSD myself? Or is there somewhere out there I haven't come across yet that offers something like this?
Open to any suggestions or tips!
Many thanks,
Ben
