Laptop Recommendation travelling

[danielhowk]

First time buying a laptop for travelling purposes, looking for a laptop around the $800 price range. only found a laptop that was similiar to what i need is Dell XPS 13 (9380)

things im looking for - hdmi port, fast loading times for browsing the internet to watch netflix, light weight i guess, since is mostly for travelling.

things im not looking for - flashy lights around the keyboard and webcam is not needed.

Location? Usage? Any preference on weight, battery life and display size? Mind low sRGB display and non-upgradable RAM?

display size between 13-15inch

low srgb on the keyboard is fine, non upgradable ram is fine too.

It will be updated, but not daily. Probably monthly, depending on how free I am. You can check the last edit date

 

Shopee or Lazada from reputable sellers
