Budget Editing Laptop

Bought this to use with my laptop since I prefer a mouse. It works well for photo editing.

Upgraded laptop from 8gb to 32gb for on-the-go video/photo editing.

You can spend a lot more on a monitor, but this should be a strong consideration for budget minded photo editing use. I calibrated the monitor with my personal and work laptop and have been using it daily for the last month. Calibrated with Datacolor SpyderX Pro. I am pleased with the resolution at 27, and fine details (small print) seem easier to read than the monitor it replaced.

Really powerful tablet. It could easily replace any low-mid budget laptop.

Amazing for editing videos, really comfortable for long hours in the laptop

I use this monitor to supplement a laptop in editing and organizing photos. It is perfect for this application.

Bought a new laptop and had to complete it with Office 365...busy editing lots of videos and doing a little music production too!

I am learning to enjoy my ASUS 15.6 Vivobook. It is a replacement for my nearly 14 year old laptop that has seen better days. I am on a limited budget, but I didn't want mediocre specs that would be outdated in 6 months. I do mainly internet browsing, some productivity work (word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, etc.), some low intensity gaming, and on occasion some video editing for my socials. Bottom line - You should probably get one while qtys and pricing are good. Pros - It has the specs I wanted (i9 CPU, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) at a great price. More than enough computing power for gaming, casual internet browsing, and the occasional homework/essay. It included FREE 2-Day Shipping - I am on the West Coast. Screen colors are vibrant, keyboard is keyboard-y with backlit keys. The laptop itself is not the lightest out there, but is hardly the boat anchor ROG ASUS I still own that is on its last legs. It's offered thru a reputable dealer. Cons (ish) - Only 1920x1080 resolution and no touchscreen. I haven't really encountered any other negatives so far. It's been a while since I purchased MY own laptop. To be transparent, I have helped recommend and even purchased several laptops over the years for my family and friends. My previous-current laptop is a still-running ASUS G51J (i7 CPU 1st Gen, 6GB RAM, 500GB 2.5 HDD) - battery doesn't charge, but still works plugged in. I purchased it from B&H also circa 2010. Being a frugal tinkerer myself, but wanting the best value for my budget, I researched and compared several buying sources including big box stores, national (U.S.) retail chains and even Amazon, but I still chose B&H. Even though I am on the West Coast, I still found value in the products they offer as well as the service and buying experience. Did I mention FREE 2-Day shipping from the East Coast (NY). Hope this review helps.

I needed something to elevate my laptop. I was getting neck strain looking down at my screen. This laptop stand was just what I needed. I like the design and the price was within my budget.

I was looking for a budget conscious, sturdy and light weight laptop platform to use with my tethering setup. This platform was perfect for my tethering needs. It is easy to use, supports my 17 laptop and the mouse tray is an added convenience. I highly recommend this platform!
