Hi there, looking for a new laptop to replace the old one.

1. Budget :less than 2k, cheaper the better
2. Usage : microsoft words/powerpoint, media, internet surfing, online classes, no gaming
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : 15.6", decent battery life and screen quality. Want a laptop than can last me for another 5 years or more

Currently looking at these:

1. Check out HP 15S-EQ2195AU/15S-EQ2196AU/15S-EQ2197AU/R3-5300U/8GB/512GB SSD/15 [Free Backpack] at 29% off! RM1,799.00 only. Get it on Shopee now! https://shp.ee/vq2x9x8

2. Check out Lenovo IdeaPad 1 15.6" R3-7320U | 8GB RAM|512GB SSD| W11H| OFFICE H&S| 2YR WTY|82VG0036MJ-Grey 37MJ -Sand| FOC: Backpac at 31% off! RM1,592.00 only. Get it on Shopee now! https://shp.ee/uh77emd

3. Dell refurbished laptops?

4. Any other recommendations are welcome.

Thanks

For laptop anything below 17", avoid QHD really. It won't do any justice to the screen size. Unless you are kiasu for pixel count then go for it. QHD and above will be more relevant for external monitor size 24" and above.

Avoid the HP 15S-EQ2195AU or the 7300x/7520x series, these unlikely to meet your long term requirements. Look for 7530U at least of the HP range or similar. IdeaPad there is 1 model with 300 nits screen, but not 100% sRGB. HP ones usually 250 nits for the budget series. Or wait for next Lazada/Shopee sale, the discount is worth it.

Thank you, what about intel i5? Any series to avoid?
