Hi all!
I'm looking for a smallish laptop with a decent battery life, full HD screen and ideally a SSD (although not a dealbreaker as I have a spare one. (budget around £500 but can be flexible)
I'm currently looking at the Lenovo 13 which I can currently buy the following spec for about £467. (through Health Service Discounts).
Before hitting the buy button I was wondering if this is as good as I'll get for my cash or should I be looking at something else?
Another thing I'm wondering is whether to upgrade to an Intel Core i5-7200U Processor (3MB Cache, up to 3.1Ghz) which would cost around an extra £50.
Would I see much difference in performance given the nature of the machine and how would the more powerful processor affect battery life??
Cheers for any advice!
