Hi all. I'm about to get a new laptop and have shortlisted the models below. I will mainly be using it for office applications, browsing, movies and watching youtube videos. No gaming or photo editing. I will rarely take the laptop outside the house. Which model should I go for?

Dell Inspiron 3580
CPU:
i5-8265U
RAM: 8GB DDR4
Graphics Card: Radeon M520 2GB
Display: 15.6 FHD WLED
Hard Drive: 256 GB SSD
Optical Drive: None

Dell Inspiron 5000
CPU:
i5-8250U
RAM: 8GB DDR4
Graphics Card: Radeon M530 4GB
Display: 15.6 FHD WLED
Hard Drive: 256 GB SSD
Optical Drive: DVD-RW

Dell Vostro 3578
CPU:
i5-8250U
RAM: 8GB DDR4
Graphics Card: Radeon M520 2GB
Display: 15.6 FHD WLED
Hard Drive: 256 GB SSD
Optical Drive: None

Fujitsu Lifebook E558
CPU:
i5-8350U
RAM: 8GB DDR4
Graphics Card: Intel HD Graphics 620

The prices are very similar. The Dell models come with 4yrs parts and 1yr labour warranty while the Fujitsu comes with 2yrs parts and 2yrs labour warranty.

Thanks!
 
I would not get any of those, last 3 or 4 generations of Dells have been really bad, bad batteries, motherboard failures, screen failures. I have stacks of failed Dell laptops at work, probably a 20-1 ratio to failed Lenovos if you count battery issues. In fact, I can't think of a single Lenovo we had to replace due to failure outside of a bad hard drive and a few with docking issues.

Find some Asus or Lenovo models.
