Hi guys, I'm looking at buying my first laptop for work/university and would like some advice please.
What is your maximum budget? I'll say £500 but feel free to suggest more expensive laptops if you feel that it is a better option, I will be flexible.
What country are you in? England.
What will be the uses of this laptop? University work, light gaming.
Do you have brand loyalty or care which brands we select for you? Any reliable brand with good customer support.
What screen size do you require? 13" seems about right for a portable bit of kit, feel free to suggest smaller or larger though.
What screen resolution do you require? 1080p would be nice, don't know if it's possible with my budget though.
Are you looking to buy NEW or would refurbished/recertified/used be okay? Refurbished would be okay, used would not be okay. Preferably new though.
How long should the battery last?(Under optimal conditions, no movies/games/heavy internet) Not really bothered.
What games would you like to play with your laptop? And on what settings? I would like to be able to game at the native resolution on low-medium graphics if possible.
What operating system do you need? (if any) Doesn't matter, I'll be installing my own.
Is there a certain style of laptop you want? (aluminum, black, gaming, etc.) Portable/light.
How much hard drive space do you need? Will be installing my own SSD, would be nice if it has two 2.5" bays so I can use a hard drive as well.
Do you need any special hardware? (blue ray, webcam, specialty ports, etc.) Nope.
Is there anything else we need to know? My two key things are that it has to be portable/light and reliable. 6GB+ of RAM would be good to have.
Thanks!
