Good morning guys, I'm looking for a budget laptop/chrome book or something similar to replace my spoiled old netbook.. My aims for the new laptop are viewing high quality photos and movies smoothly. It's better if it comes with large storage as well. Any suggestions for me? Long time never buy laptop, have no idea what's the current market products.. Thanks and have a good day

Getting Started

As you mention, for smoothness an SSD and 8GB of RAM is important. CPU and GPU is not so crucial for viewing photos and movies.
Lots of choices, good luck!
