+virtorio MVC Posted October 21, 2021 MVC Share Posted October 21, 2021 The size of the SSD is quite small, but it might not be a problem given what youbwant to do with it. Other than that it'd perfectly fine Bruinator 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulphy Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 For general use, that is more than adequate! Should be a pretty nippy laptop. Especially for what you are going to be expecting of it. Bruinator 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikey_richie Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 More than adequate. Maybe get the dock too, so you can connect a larger external screen for movies. Bruinator 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddingguy Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Looks good for your thingies you want to do with it. I agree with @virtorio to maybe get a 512 GB SSD to be more 'futureproof', but other than that you'll be fine. Bruinator 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruinator Posted October 21, 2021 Author Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) I already have an external SSD with 500 GB storage. That should be more than OK with this laptop? You guys rock with all the quick responses. TYVM. kiddingguy 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven P. Administrators Posted October 21, 2021 Administrators Share Posted October 21, 2021 Looks really capable for that money. I picked up a Pavilion x360 in 2017 and it only has a 120GB NVMe in it, as it is just for working I've not had the need for a larger disk space in it. If you need it, might be worth looking into a OneDrive subscription (gives me 1TB over my Office 365 Personal subscription) which then allows me to add a cloud drive to Windows. So I get all the Office apps and 1TB of Onedrive for about $70/year Bruinator and spikey_richie 1 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adrynalyne Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 At 700, it doesn’t matter much. Level of quality is dependent on company and within that company, price. That said: Apple Lenovo Dell ASUS Jim K 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mindovermaster Moderator Posted October 23, 2021 Moderator Share Posted October 23, 2021 I think I'm the one that said I hate Dell.. All laptops consumer line sucks, pre-1k. But their business line is superb. But you are buying an arm and leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
