£600- £900
2. What is the size of the notebook that you are considering?
15inch or there abouts

At home and in hospital it’d be basically static and plugged into the mains
I do plan on saving up again and building a desktop at that point
5. How much battery life do you need?
I’ve become used to 4hrs but closer to 10 would be nice

With downtime/recovery in hospital i’m hoping to get through unplayed classics bought in steam sales before buying newer more processor-hungry ones. The first few Batman, witcher and assassin’s creed games, the 2 skyrim dlc similar old titles should take me a few years or until i don’t have time to play again.

Basic video/ audio editing (ripped vhs and the kid’s birthdays still need cleaning up)
