Best mobile workspace laptop??

[mstq]

Hi guys

Im looking for something to do work on the go.
I need at least 13" screen (15" would be best, but i havent found anything that meets my requirements besides lg gram and samsung notebook 9 - both being unavailable in eu) with minimum full hd. Touchscreen would be nice.

Performance wise i need minimum spec, i need something for word, browser etc, but it needs to handle some multitasking (eg. 2x word file, 1 pdf and 5 browser tabs open at thd same time without lagging).

Weight is an issue - it cannot exceed 1.5kg.

Pricewise id like to pay as little as possible.
So far two models i found as potentially suitable are asus ux305ca (£550 on amazon) and lenovo thinkpad 13 (€720 lenovo website).

Is there anything else i should consider? Maybe something cheaper, or something thats a 1yr old now that was released with a higer pricetag but the price has gone down now??

Pleas dont be shy to propose something - specially the budget options.

Cheers

Yeah, was gonna suggest the Asus UX305 CA/FA/LA (different processors). The other two I often see mentioned alongside it are the Dell XPS 13, and Hp Spectre x360

Some reviews are for newest high-end versions, but should have links to older and lower versions.

Edit: You aren't going to find a 1.5kg 15" notebook. But there are a few at around 2 kg.

The Asus and Dell are quad cores, which are probably overkill for your tasks. Most of the extra weight is taken up by a bigger battery to give it decent battery life with the quad core. And again, there are cheaper lower-end versions than the reviewed configuration.

Lenovo Yoga 700 line is good.

Might look for a previous generation Yoga 3 Pro if you can find it for a good price.
