I'm looking for some advice on what I should be recommending at as a good all-rounder laptop for a friend of my parents. I've been volunteered into helping and giving advice even though I switched to Apple around 10yrs ago, and I've really not kept up with things on the PC side.

The laptop is mainly used for day to day tasks - Web, Email and Office (Word and Excel).

They'd like something with:
  • Large Screen 13"- 15" >
  • Good Size Trackpad and Keyboard
  • Good Battery Life
  • Reasonably Lightweight

They really aren't bothered/interested in a touch screen or a 2-in-1 style system.

Would be nice from my side to have some upgradability, like a RAM upgrade which could be done at a later date.

Budget would be £750 max but preferably less.
 
Basically anything from a major laptop manufacturer with 16gb ram and an ssd is going to be fine for those light tasks. There are rules about linking competitors so kinda hard to do that.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Any particular manufactures I should avoid?

Also Intel or AMD?
