ok



currently using Surface Pro 4 with 4GB and 128GB storage, which still suit my needs well, but the flickering problem is giving me headache (already replaced once under the hardware defect warranty programme)

was looking at Envy X360 AG0003AU up till this stage, but read that the battery life is bad

I'm open to non-convertible and non touch screen laptop as well

If screen size goes to 14" and normal hdd instead of ssd? Can make it within budget? Speed is important, slow bootup is not preferred. I know those celeron or power saving slow cpu are cheaper, but they are not preferred. I rather up the budget a little and see how. 4GB ram is fine, cos light use. Nothing serious. Not going to open 50 browser tabs. Maybe just 10.

There was a configuration of the Aspire 5 with a 120/128GB SSD, a decent CPU but with a terrible display for RM1900. However it's screen size is 15.6" and the product doesn't seem to be available any more.

Sub 3k.
Display maybe 13 to 15 inches.
Battery life maybe 4 hours minimum.
Weight probably sub 2kg.
Can't seem to find anymore Lenovo 320s with 8gb ram, is it still relevant?

I assumed that you need good sRGB display and don't mind non-upgradable RAM?

Asus Zenbook UX331F-ALEG010T - no USB C charging
Asus Zenbook UX430U-NGV176T - no USB C charging
Lenovo Ideapad 720s 13 Intel 81BV000BMJ / CMJ
Asus Zenbook UX331U-ALEG032T / 033T - no USB C charging
Acer Spin 5 SP513-52N-58QD

One question, are you a student?

Raven is the only choice in your budget

Suggest using external mech kb like I did if you don't like Raven

Depends on what software to use. Some applications could benefit from GPU acceleration and some don't.

Acer Aspire 3 A315-41G-R7HY, barely passable overall build quality and poor battery life. RAM+SSD upgrades are preferred

TYVM. For new laptops, can I get the shop to change the SSD and maintain warranty? No right? Now is hunting time then report back. Thank you for the kind recommendation.
