That's a big part of why I want this laptop. It has the 8th
generation Intel I7.

aren't the poorest, underpowered and cheap laptops around 500
dollars in the states? I definately wouldn't get anything below
an i5, and would try to get the latest eighth gen processor,
which has 4 cores instead of 2.

It's not necessarily how many hours a day you use it but how
you use it. You don't want to get a cheap bottom of the
line laptop, but for a lot of users, a roughly five hundred
dollar laptop, perhaps cheaper if it's on sale, will serve.
You might want to see which are the most reliable laptops.
I don't follow this, but I have seen surveys, which may be
done every year, I'm not sure, with some information about
this. and companies may put out a model that holds up well
and another that doesn't. So I wouldn't assume that if one
model is good from a certain company, that they all are.
I didn't look at the web site
to see the price nor did I look at the specifications yet,
but what is everything and what is using it hard?

It is expensive, but it has everything I need. Also, I've been
doing
research and most really good laptops seem to be around that
price
point. I'm going to be using it hard every day, so I need
something that
can handle that and won't have problems.
