I found a great deal on a laptop (I think!) but I'm woefully out of the game on what to be looking for. I want to use it for school, programming, some games. I mostly want it to last!
The laptop in question is an HP Spectre x360 on Best Buys site for $500 off the normal $1600. I dunno if I'm allowed to link it here because I don't want to seem like I'm shilling. But this looks like a great laptop and is well reviewed on tech sites. I really need something reliable for grad school and I love playing magic the gathering on my work laptop but that's not intense.
Years ago I bought a crappy laptop that fell apart and I hated it. I want to do better! Something that will last.
So like... are these specs at all decent? Or what should I really be paying attention to I suppose? Though if I bought this and it lasted years I'd be again out of the game when the time rolled around again...
