Spec me a laptop

[aaronyuri]

Ladies and gents, my work laptop has died. This laptop spends a lot of time in a dock but does come on the road with me sometimes and it needs to be small/lightweight for that reason.

It's solely used for work purposes and doesn't need any gaming capabilities whatsoever.

The now dead laptop is 7 years old and it's served me well. I barely turned it off. The MOSFET has exploded on the mainboard and doesn't look like replacing it will be easy.

Requirements:

Lightweight and portable
Circa £1k excluding VAT
Native x86

Hit me...

Hp elitebook 13"
Dockable, decent screen and should be options for 16gb and 32gb if needed.

What's your budget?

So you want a 13" screen?

Dell XPS 13

Also look at LG Gram range if light weight is important.

Yeah Dell XPS would be my go to also depending on your budget. Great machines.

Somewhere around the £1k mark (excl VAT) is pretty comfortable.

Sadly, the XPS 13 is Snapdragon and I need native x86.

Asus Expertbook here, OLED flip/touch screen aswell... the OLED is really nice to have. The touch screen..I keep forgetting it's touch screen so that's not a feature I'd pay for, unless you really know you'll make use of it.

I think mines a 13.9" screen, so it's really slim and portable. Crap for productivity but then you'd dock it or plug it into a bigger screen for that sort of thing.
