Hello guys,
i will soon move to UK (work related and who knows i might like living there
) and finally my time for a laptop has come. Never used one tbh mostly repaired them but now its a must. Have 0 knowledge on the laptop side of different brands opposed to pc parts so reading hundreds of reviews is exhausting.
My budget is not dead set but i do not want to go over £1k(600-700£ ideally). As i will be working both from the office and at home i need something mobile (building a pc not an option for atleast 14 months). Yes i sold the pc i was using before because it costs too much to transport it and i dont want to make 5 trips to take all my belongings to UK. Specswise i want a 11nth gen I5 or a ryzen 5. A good screen is a huge plus and about gaming light titles and csgo,league not much more.Storage not a big deal as i used external HDD for data storage. The main thing i hate from laptops is the heat generated. Dont mind loudness as i use anc headphones.
I honestly have been researching a lot of laptops and have no clue what to decide. Also i have 1-2 months of time to choose the laptop before i travel to UK so maybe waiting for christmas sales could be wise

. Some folks said that the new iris xe chips can provide my "basic gaming" needs. Diging more have found cheap options like asus vivobook s15 16gb 512ssd 1135g7 for 450-570£ or equivalent 5500U r5, thinkbook 512ssd 1135g7 8gb for 540£ after cashback, acer nitro 5 512ssd 11300h 8gb 1650 for 720£. or if going all out a G5 with 3060 is within my budget in OCUK but people say it overheats a lot and need to repaste asap.
