Hi all,

Need recommendation for a laptop.

I'm currently using a i5-3230M CPU@2.6Ghz, 8gb ram with NVIDIA GeForce GT720M.

I got it at around 1.8k quite a while back. forgot the model but is the g400s series or something similar

Base on performance, I'm still okay with it but the screen is acting up.

So, any suggestions for laptop that is similar or an upgrade to this in similar price range? May be willing to top up abit.

Basically more bang for buck laptop that is at least 14", though more is a bonus.

1. Preferred brand : any
2. Budget : 3k
3. Usage : web surfing, work, research, basic Photoshop, making photobomb. No gaming, so graphics card not very important. Hoping for la smooth and lag free experience, what's the specs I should prioritize to keep within budget.
4. Screen Size : 14 and above? Aiming for slim, ultra book type.

Mostly, I'm prioritizing SSD, and i5 processor at least. If budget permits, either increase SSD memory or up to i7, but more importantly, the upgrade should help increase the smoothness of the laptop.

Thanks sifus for help!
