For your budget you won't get good sRGB display unless you sacrifice a lot on things like hardware (performance, storage, memory), build quality etc

Try Ideapad 320s 14 with RAM+SSD upgrades

Why are new intel coffee-lake chips available on gaming laptop for RM 4k++ but not on conventional laptop? The cheapest non-gaming laptop with coffee-lake is 6k. Or is coffee-lake not meant for such mid-range laptop?

Market is too small I guess...not everyone needs the extra power...and also saves battery life

Not to mention the heat problem too

Dim display (but touchscreen), OKish battery life, performance issue (8250U perform like 7200U)

Unless you want ultra light/slim laptop, wouldn't recommend
