Hi everyone
Looking to get a new laptop and I don’t know where to start, given my disappointment with previous laptops.
I’m a student and I use my laptop A LOT. It is typically on for 16 hours a day, but I'm usually close to a charger.
I typically use it for heavy productivity; I will almost always have 10+ Google Chrome tabs open, multiple Word Documents, PowerPoints, spreadsheets etc… when I am researching and writing reports, preparing presentations etc... I also do a lot of typing so need a nice keyboard.
When I’m not doing this, I’m typically chilling in bed watching Netflix/YouTube and browsing the web (again, lots of tabs open)
The thing is, I HATE slow, laggy technology that freezes and takes longer than it should to do a task, so I want something that handles what I throw at it like a champ. Especially given that a rely on my laptop so much and I get a lot of use out of it.
So what do I need? What series of processor/generation? How much RAM? I know lots of other things effect performance and comfort of day to day use, so please help!
Any help and any thoughts are greatly appreciated! My budget is £500-£600 (approx. $780-$940 given ER).
Thanks.
