I need a good used laptop for programming and photo/video editing.
Budget- 100-110k.
Which one will serve me better.
I just finished udacity nanodegree program, I'm new to programming world now.
Thanks all.

I struggled to get this. I don't have more than that. Your input will be appreciated.

Considering your budget, if you can find a HP 255 G3 Windows 8.1, used, then go for it. 4GB ram, 2.5GHz processor speed. It's nice.

Take ur time and search for a nice PC on eBay.
Don't go and buy one core 2 duo for 100k. Its 2018 and not 2008

A week or ~10days.

Considering your budget, if you can find a HP 255 G3 Windows 8.1, used, then go for it. 4GB ram, 1.5GHz processor speed. It's nice.

No No No. HP 255 G Series are bunch of crap.
How can a laptop that runs heavy editing apps work with that meagre clock speed.
I bought a hp 255 G6 and am still regreting it. My 2gb ram and 2.5 ghz lappy is faster than that shít.
And its video card is wack. Too many BSOD Associated with that G series.
Made a mistake, i dont want someone to make that mistake.
So back to topic.
Op you need an intel core i5 with good sound card and at least 4gb video card.
Note Amd processors are crazy stick with the intel.
Maybe hp pavilion will do. Or Acer Aspire or Dell inspirion.
My personal spec for you-
1. 4GB ram, the more the merrier.
2. 2.5gh clock speed.
3. 500gb hdd.
4. 4gb video card.
5. High end Sound card.
6. Intel core i 5 or i3.
Search for these specs it is quite okay.
My G6 still experiences lags in Movie maker.

I don't think recommending 1.5GHz for someone doing video editing and probably will be learning bread and butter languages that will require a lot processing power.
Coupled with Spectre and Meltdown Mitigations, 1.5GHz will be a gross dissapointment.

computergeek, I trusted you

What you need is specification, you can now find your suitable LAptop of choice based on that spec.
Your Minimum basic Specs looks like:
- 4 GB RAM
- Intel Core i5 3rd gen.
- The processor name should end with H or M, e.g i5 - 3230M, i5-4200H
- if you see U run for your life. e.g: i5 - 4200U
- NVIDIA or ATI dGPU. You need this for you Photo/Video Production. And Yes, for 110K you must can a used.
- 320 or 500 GB
- 4 Hours battery life on doing basic task. It's important. I will be looking at 4000+ mAH battery for that

Do your research if you don't know what these means. Well, it's a way of welcoming you into our world.

I bought a 75K laptop with Core i5 3230M @3.2 Ghz turbo (Just look that up). This means you will get something better for 110K unless you don't know what you're looking for.

Remember these are just minimum requirements.

Yes, you're. But you will be carrying a heavy artillery now.
Processor Good, Quad Core. GPU nice, for the price.
Battery should last like 6 hours in a worst case scenario

Stop talking bullshit. The mikkyangel guy has over 900 pages with testimonies from different people and very good deals. That there are scammers on Nairaland doesn't mean that you should label someone you've never done anything with as a scammer.
That's his thread below. Take time and go through it and update your ignorance.
