Balanced laptop as in? He won't be playing any new game, just gta v like an hour or two max. I am sure that he won't play that either. Why is he after a laptop with a gpu is beyond me because he will never be using it to the max.So just buy a balanced laptop.
Because in any case there resale value is very poor and new tech just keep coming.
Minus the gpu but with all the specs as mentioned in the first post, can you please suggest a good laptop for daily requirements? I am planning to get one for someone at my place.
