Well I'm staring up my youtube channel and gfx! So I need a cheap laptop to get me started until I get enought money to upgrade! I will be doing GFX for TTG that will consist of making avatars, signatures, banners and also youtube avatars, channel art, backgrounds and intros! Along with that I will need to edit my youtube videos to make them look professional! My budget is $300 and if you find a laptop that is better than the two below and under or around $300 post below and I will rep you!

Don't waste your money on a used laptop. Build an actually decent build for 300.

That's not what he asked, he asked which of the 2 should he get.


You should go with the Mac out of those 2, you'll get better editing from it. just DON'T drop the mac, or the Logic Board will break, and you will be screwed.

Anything under $300 wouldn't be worth buying. You should wait to save up probably a $500 budget minimum.

I won't personally look at them, but I am not a fan of Mac. Aside from this, people, building laptops is pretty nightmarish. You must understand that laptops use specialized parts and you cannot just stick desktop parts in there and expect it to work.

High-res GFX and video editing like to have RAM. Save up, it's really only the option you have.
