Default Laptop choice help

I need help choosing a laptop.

I'm tech savvy but when it comes to buying I'm lost. I suppose I should list what I wana do with it.

Id like to stream movies
Play games.
Browse the Internet.
And be able to photoshop & other things.

Any suggestions? I'm thinking maybe a dell?

Photoshop and some games can be demanding.

$100-$300 range. Yes I know. Low budget for lots of demands.

Yeahhhhhhh.

How many $100 laptops even exist? Much less ones that can run those items? ?

Go to Dell and tell me their cheapest laptop offered.

It's been awhile, but I would assume you're still looking at $350-$400 bucks as the pure lowest entry fee.

General rule of thumb...your hardware won't be cheaper than the software you want to run on it. lol

I don't know if "savvy" should ever be used to describe you.

You need to bump your budget up.

You won't get anything for $350. I spent $750 on mine and it still is slow running graphic intense games. I'd really save your money and wait until you can afford something decent.

As previously stated, lowest entry level laptops are around $400 dollars and they will not perform well to any of the things you want, other than browse the net.

Is that a steam game? If so then you might as well cross it off the list too.
