I need a good laptop.

I'm currently searching for a decent laptop. But I don't know much about laptop's and their prices.

I don't need an expensive beast of a laptop that handles heavy duty tasks and games. I'm mostly gonna use it for running my DJ software (such as Traktor), music and other general tasks.

I would prefer either a Dell or Asus laptop, since they're very reliable. It needs to have an Intel i5 processor or an equal AMD one (although I prefer Intel) 2.0GHz and 4GB of RAM. Higher end laptop suggestions that are not too pricey are welcome too.

Thanks in advance.

It would help if you were specific with your budget. What's "an expensive beast of a laptop" to you? $1000+?

Well honestly, I don't really have a specific budget. I don't have any money currently. I want to find a decent laptop that would suit me well and buy it later on.

But I guess I could go up to around 700 USD. A 1000+ dollar laptop would already be high end.

Ok that helps. I think you can't go wrong with Asus. I hear nothing but great things about them (compared to other brands like Dell that have reliability issues).

This one seems perfect for what you're looking for: Interl i7, 8GB Memory, 2.0 gigahertz: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-x-series-15-6-laptop-intel-core-i7-8gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive-black/8672137.p?id=1219357513823&skuId=8672137

Seems great! I'll keep this one in mind.

Thanks for the suggestion :)
