Hello everyone,

I am seeking advice regarding a laptop suitable for streaming HD movies, listening to music, and work (heavy excel, microsoft office).

I like the ASUS Vivobook X556UR-SH51-CB 15.6 2.3ghz Intel Core i5-6198DU NVIDIA GeForce 930MX 16GB DDR4 RAM 1080P resolution.

This one is simmilar from newegg, Asus K550 15.6'' $719.95 https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4P056D7299
For your needs, any mainstream laptop will work. ASUS is a good brand, pick something you like from them, really any model will be good. Battery life you probably won't hit 6 hours with high use unless you get a system with a weaker CPU and run on lower brightness.

That looks like a really good laptop. Similar to the one I mentioned, although that is the US Amazon site. It doesn't have the model number so I don't know how to search for it in Canada. And wow that thing is over 6 pounds
