Was thinking about financing a new laptop, Mostly just play rs, but would like to get into coding maybe some video editing and watching movies maybe stream. What are your opinions on this laptop.

MSI is also a good choice too.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lenovo-Thinkpad-X200-Core-2-Duo-P8700-2-53-GHz-2GB-Ram-NO-HDD-OS-T838/183421845472?hash=item2ab4cb3fe0:g:J78AAOSw3qJbkvUx#viTabs_0

 

Thinkpad x200.

Install Trisquel Linux.

I can bot an osrs account, browse with Tor and IceCat(FOSS Firefox) all at the same time with almost zero lag.

*edit*

For streaming and or 1080p movies, the x200 might strain, but if RS, 480-720p video and coding are your primary goal, the x200 is perfect.

you still tryna make rune miners?

I would get a desktop if that's the case.

Alienware is a bit pricey compared to alternatives (generally speaking). With that being said, I have 2 of them, so I can say that they're good (fuck the bloatware though) and customer support will generally take pretty good care of you.

Get a Dell XPS 15 instead of you're only playing RS. Imo the best looking laptop with decent specs that's not a gaming laptop

IMO not much point in getting a beast laptop for rs.. but then again if your financing it why not! go onto E-Buyer and see their deals on i5 and i7 laptops. MSI has good ones too! good luck
