Hi guys, looking for recommendation for a budget but reliable enough laptop for work.

Preferably to have the following criteria:

1. Preferred Brand: Any brand but Acer.
2. Budget: Preferable below 2k. Somewhere between 1.5K would also be nice.
3. Usage: Browsing webpages and streaming from sites like Youtube. Spreadsheet work and other office applications.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : At least 14 inch or larger.
5. Personal preference: Don't care about gaming much, as long as it's able to stream and playback HD or full HD video smoothly.

Thanks bro. I don't really care about the panel or max resolution of the screen. As long as the laptop is able to playback HD or full HD videos smoothly it's already fine by me.

I will look into those models that you recommended right away. Thanks for your help.

Unless than person is a gorilla than the only choice would be one of those Panasonic Toughbook laptops or custom made laptops for rugged conditions used by people in the mining, geological and research sector.

The only downside other than the asking price would be these kind of laptops normally weight at least a few kilos and simply not a joy for the average person to transport around.
