    You don’t get the idea of the word budget



  5. Sonyas Clownery on November 25, 2020 at 4:37 pm

    Y’all saying these ain’t cheap but MacBook pros are literally $1300



  6. Charlie Reeves on November 25, 2020 at 4:40 pm

    So the description lies



  7. Matt Wolf on November 25, 2020 at 4:40 pm

    These are all expensive, if you just need basic tasks done (Netflix, PowerPoint, Word, Email, web browsing with only a few tabs open etc) you could find a cheap HP laptop for around $300 and be fine with it. If you are wanting to do more complex stuff like photoshop, video editing or some low end gaming than that’s when you want the ones in those video.



  8. E 1 on November 25, 2020 at 4:41 pm

    Thank you ! This video really helped with a budget of $600
