The laptop is worth more than the asking price. Why not make a market survey and know how much core i5 4th generation cost. Secondly, a SSD of 500gb alone is kinda worth more than that #30,000.... When a part of a laptop is actually worth more than the laptop itself, that's definitely a red flag.

Well, it's either your friend is cash strapped and urgently need money.....or the could be faulty or is problematic ( today it's battery, tomorrow it's processor, next tomorrow it's another problem)........or it's stolen (no offense).


Like I said earlier, just shine ya eyes.
someone wanted to sell this laptop for me 50k I hope it worth HP EliteBook 8570W 8GB Intel Core I7 SSD 1T

Alright.

General overview.

Desktop/laptop PCs run on x86-64. It's a type CPU design. The better the design, the more powerful the CPU.

The two main CPU makers for PC are Intel and AMD. Every PC you see uses a CPU from one of these two.

I'll start with Intel but wait, my rice dey burn.

I read all the comments, however, nobody really defined this properly, so I will do so.

In Intel, there are generations and also Amd. Now let do simple counting.

Let us count from 1, 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. Now according to this, 1 is the smallest number right? Followed by two, three 4 all the way to 10. Now let say I buy core i3 that is no more 5. Let make up a name and call it Corei3 5100U.
Then your friend buys core i7. Which should be better than core i5 because you must count 6 before you get to it. Then your friend is a novice and got core i7 1001U which is the first number in the corei7. Can you see you're now 4 numbers ahead of him, you're definitely faster. So in CPU, you should focus more on the generations and not the core etc. the i there means nothing. Core i3 of number 10. Let's say core i3 10110U will beat a core i7 8th number, because the core i3 is 2 numbers ahead. So if you have a core i3 and your friend has core i7 with 8gen, then he won't brag because you have a stronger CPU.


Now more factors to consider when buying a CPU.
Ram: this days we use DDR4 rams, DDR3 are outdated and outlived their usefulness, but still they are not bad. Don't just buy ram because you heard it's ddr4. In rams there are numbers as well. If you buy ddr4 1600mhz speed you can't beat a person with 3200mhz speed. You need to check the speed at which the rams write.

Now graphics card is what handles the gaming, you can have a low end CPU but good graphics card, although it will bottleneck the GPU, but you can game.

If you want a CPU for multitasking then go with AMD those guys are beast. If you need a single core performance, then go with Intel.


Nice 1

Depends on the aspect of coding you're going into, but I think that should be ok for coding, for video editing, no.

If you really mean the video editing bit, get a laptop with at least 4gb dedicated graphics card, she'd handle your coding and video editing perfectly.

Simply put, for coding, the laptop is fair ok, but for video editing, it's a bad idea, because it can't handle it.

20k for laptop? Well the answer is simple. The core i7 is a Quad-Core processor, the core i5 is dual core. You already know which is best. But if you still don't, get the Dell immediately, I mean if it's 20k.

The second one seems ok.The processor is kind of better than the first one. The only advantage the first one has over the second one is the SSD. I'd go for the HP.

Nna enh! but just be careful with this laptops, especially the first one, because they usually have a thousand and one problem. Line on the screen is a red flag, battery another red flag, plus many other red flags the seller wouldn't tell you about. least I forget, Dell batteries cost an arm.

That's a laptop with a dedicated graphics card although I don't know the size of the dedicated graphics card, it's NVIDIA, and NVIDIA graphics card laptops are quite pricey. It's a steal for that price. Just make sure it's not stolen or it doesn't have issues, other than that, it's an awesome deal.

If the battery is not OK,
Tell him to cut the price down (cost of original battery)
Also, what do you want to use it for?
Also, that PC processor is not ok for heavy task

Don't mind that core i7 ooo grin
