Budget - £1k (a little room if its justifiable)
Purpose - Spreadsheets, general browsing, multimedia & games (nothing major, just cpu intensive games such as Football manager series & occasional strategic simulation game.
Size - around 13" preferably
My old laptop (15.6" Lenovo Y510p I7 4th gen 1TB HDD) recently broke and is deemed non repairable so I want an upgrade for my replacement. Following this, minimum requirement is i7 and SSD memory. I do normally have a ton of films and photos, with only a few games I think 256gb will do the job if I buy a external hard drive to store all the multimedia on. That said the more memory the better.
I travel around alot so this time want to go with a smaller laptop around 13" is perfect.
I've had a look around the past 4-5 days and come abit stuck. Everytime I look into each 'award-winning' laptop I see a large list of flaws that are hard to overlook. E.G XPS 13 coil whine, reliability and overheating in HP Spectre x360.
Anyone will experience in similar spec/size laptops being able to give a heads up is much appreciated!
