I am currently shopping for a laptop to replace my Acer Switch 12 inch 2 in 1 that had an i3 processor. It wouldn't boot up one day so I sent it for warranty repair work. They got back to me with a $397.00 gift to replace it. Since I paid $752.00 which included a 3-year warranty and taxes, I am not too happy with the value of the card.
Anyway, I am looking to replace it with a 12-13 inch laptop or 2 in 1 with the following: touch screen, SSD, the best processor and the most ram I can get. I have been looking at refurbished models online. My big debate is whether to get an i3, an i5 or an i7. In order to keep the price reasonable, I have to look at 4th, 5th, or 6th generations. I want speed and multi-tasking capabilities more than anything. I tend to run a lot of programs simultaneously and do a lot of video work as well. I need Windows 10 home or pro. The lighter the better and 13" max in dimension for mobility
Any recommendations? I would like to keep the price within $700 so that I can use my gift card and only have to pay another $300 or so maximum if possible.
Here are 2 machines I am looking at:
https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/12948785
https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/13287899
I think both have qualities I am looking for but can't decide which is a better choice or whether I should look elsewhere. I need to purchase at Best Buy or on their website to redeem my $397 gift card.
THANKS!
