Friend wants basic laptop for 7k

[IvorDD]

Hi everybody, I'm new here and I'm not sure if this is the right place but here it goes.

My friend wants to buy a laptop for R7000. I wanna know what sort of specs she should be expecting for that. She needs to do basic things like right email and stream and watch movies with little to no gaming. Finding something with bang for buck would great. Here are the 2 we are considering. Do they seem of good value and is there an online store which would be better to purchase from?

Thank-you for your future help

I recommend you to check out the Carbonite Classifieds, specifically BillyBob and [AKO] MatthewGhost, they often sell great laptops brand new or only a couple of months old, full warranty until 2018/9, for R2000-R3000 less than retail.

i5 CPU, 8GB RAM and SSD in that price range.

Those are pretty decent for the price. I'd go with the ASUS.

The Dell has double the battery, wireless AC and Gigabit Ethernet.

email, streaming and virtually no gaming.. get an atom x5 /z37xx (though this thing can play games quite easily too) notebook and pocket the extra 3-4k

http://www.guzzle.co.za and each product search costs about R100, so don't waste too much money searching. PM me for the account details for the direct deposit after you found the product you're looking for.

Where you located, some retail shops like game etc have specials that are region specific.

Dell, don't discount refurbished machines. Rather go for a higher spec refurbished machine for R7 k than a low spec new machine for R7 k.

Correct me if I'm wrong but there will still be some time before AC is rolled out here properly ?

AC includes 5 GHz as well as the older 2.4 GHz so you would still be able to connect to the older standard.

Try scraptronics in rivonia, they refurbish old laptops and sell for cheap cheap R2000 and up
