Yes I am a gamer, no I don’t want to use the Laptop for gaming.

The Laptop in question is the ‘Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 Gen 7’, I can’t out right purchase it outright as any device is way to pricy for me. So it would be an monthly payment through 2 years.

Why do I want the Laptop?
I’ve been pushing myself to edit videos and have got to the stage that I have registered a company that I’ll be doing this under. Sure my PC would do the ok job, it runs the programs I need such as Premiere Pro but I feel a more portable set up might be needed in the future for as my partner wants to go away to so many places in the future, the ability to move rooms in the house when I feel I no longer can work in the room such as my office to the sitting room as well as if it comes to it I can use the laptop for more ‘high-end’ gaming on the go in my spare time.

Why this Laptop?
Well I saw it on my phone providers website as I was checking when my current laptop is due to finish it’s cycle (The laptop I have currently only have 4GB of ram and can barely open the internet) also it cost like ~£40 a month.

How much would I be paying?
The cost on the website is £42 a month with £10 upfront cost.

This does come with a ‘bonus’ of 2 year subscriptions of Microsoft Office 365 and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

    If this is indeed not an ad,

    I don’t think a very portable laptop would be the go to choice for video editing.

    • I would imagine checking that the notebook actually uses SoDimm memory and not memory that is soldered I to the device.
    • processor wise you can also look for a notebook with a desktop processor. Although this makes the device bulky.
    • the IdeaPad is the home user quality and does not compare to ThinkPads in therms of build quality. So if you will be taking this everywhere, it will probably not live as long as a Thinkpad.

    Also keep in mind with the office 365. The home versions are not for business use.
