Looking for laptop recommendations- Coding and Media

[Hazy125]

Good evening. My laptops keyboard is getting screwey and I've lost half the screws to the chassis and all of that fun stuff. It's time for me personally to upgrade.

 

As it says in the title, I only really use it for coding and media consumption so a feature list I'd like to see would be something like

• A sexy feeling keyboard
• A nice screen. IPS, at least 1080p but I do have a tonne of 4k media which could be nice as well. Touch would be a nice bonus

    Not required but would be happy with:

• Nice long battery life (6+ hours)
• Easy enough to take apart. Ribbon cables are my worst nightmare and I'm sick of working on.... Things that are not easy to work on

 

I don't need a graphics card at all. Zero gaming. Integrated graphics should be more than enough. Don't really want a stupid big gaming laptop. Or even a small gaming laptop.

 

Cost isn't a thing that I need to worry about, but sub 2k AUD would be nice

Lenovo's ThinkPads are pretty nice...

Getting a Used Lenovo S400 wouldn't be a bad idea. I have had mine for four years and I still like it. The keyboard is good and it works well. I do have a few complaints though,

• The screen sucks
• not the best build quality
• Terrible battery life
• Bad driver support

Other than that, it's a good laptop. I would go for something newer though because that would last you longer.

it is in your budget, it is slim (doesnt look rediculous) and powerful. and a 4k screen i think.
