My sister is asking for my help picking a new laptop for my grade 10 niece. Her dad bought her a HP Stream about 14 months ago which was pretty much useless because of the 32GB boot drive before it died recently. It didn't have enough space to update Windows 10 even after a factory reset.
So, my niece says she wants something 13-14" screen range as it goes to school daily in her backpack and feels 15.6" is too big. She uses Photoshop to process/edit pictures for her photography class and would like to do some light video editing. Does usual websurfing, email, homework, Facebook stuff along with some casual gaming. Touchscreen not needed, she uses a bluetooth mouse.
Budget $500-600 before taxes, but could push to $700 if needed. Suggestions? I hate Acer laptops, I won't buy one. I would prefer to stick to Dell or Lenovo but other major brands are acceptable.
