mainly used at home and battery life no preference (it always conks after 1 year).

Likes bigger screen for full HD, and larger keypad.

I work in quite a small area, so prefer good customer and after sales support.

Preferred display size and min battery life? Mind low sRGB display and non-upgradeable RAM?
*
I'm happy with the Envy 13 specs and display, and don't mind non upgradeable Ram as will get either 8 or 16 which should be sufficient for my needs over next 2-3 years. I just don't know what is difference between AH and AQ range...

Recently bought a Thinkpad X1C6 (love it loads except for screen or sound system) and T480s (which I returned because dead on arrival). Also got a Dell XPS13 for my dad but this is way over my budget or my needs. Hence now considering HP Envy 13 for basic use.

no real preferences on weight, battery life normal can already, and display size probably 15.6, high sRGB display is optional for me.
to be honest, this is my first notebook. so i'm really not sure what i'm looking for. i just want it to be a good laptop LOL.
thanks sifu

Since you're doing photoshop I need to know whether you need high sRGB display

Min how many hours of battery life? (rough figure will do)

Need dGPU for autoCAD and games?
