I'm going to Canada for a year and wanted to get a laptop for that reason. What do you have to pay attention to? What do you recommend?
Edit: would stop him for Skype, school, Netflix and evt. Sims4 use.
If you only want to rumbles around on the internet and want to watch a movie / video here and there, a simple notebook from eg. Acer for 300-400 euro.
If you also want to gamble, you have to reach far deeper into your pocket.
Just come on what you want to do on the laptop everything.
What exactly do you want to do?
Do not you just have a light netbook!
I never had much more abroad. Some still so tray with keyboard.
You should always pay attention to the processor, as that is the most important reason why a laptop is slow.
SSD, i5 / Ryzen 3 / 5U, 8Gb, 720p-1080p
Should be enough for your purposes.
If everything should be done with the laptop? Just surfing and Office?
