Looking into getting a new laptop as mine is nearly 8 years old. Mainly use it for FM, general internet use and Microsoft Office.
Budget is under £1k, want something that’ll last for a good number of years like my current one has.
Minimum requirements are:
- Eight core processor
- 16GB RAM
- SSD 500GB
- 14 to 16 inch screen
- HDMI and classic USB (is that 3.0?)
- Avoid an integrated graphics card, ideally play FM on the highest settings (but maybe things have moved on and that’s now possible on integrated?)
- Current laptop is fairly heavy so a lighter one would be a bonus
- DVD/CD drive would be a bonus but very rarely use so could buy a portable drive if necessary
Found these three after filtering for those requirements but wondering if there’s better value for money out there.
If those specs can be improved on without a much bigger budget then even better.
