Help! Buying a new laptop! Need recommendations

May 23, 2017 7:37PM PDT

I'm looking for a laptop of no more than 400 dollars. Mainly for video and photo editing (vegas and photoshop), but also for everyday tasks. I'm so bad at technology and I have so many options I can't choose. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!

400 dollars aren't going to be that great unless you find something on closeout. I always recommend for people when buying a PC to go to Best Buy and get a hands on and then look online for best prices. Places like Newegg and Tiger Direct sometimes have great prices.
