Business Laptop ($800)

[rf9661]

Hello:

 

I am looking into purchasing a laptop for business purposes (Outlook, Word, etc.) I am looking to spend around $800. Here are my requirements:

 

Must be new! No used options.

At least 8GB of DDR4 RAM

Windows 10

An Intel i5 of at least 2.5GHz

A 5400RPM HDD or an SSD

At least a 14" screen

dGPU is not required.

Touch-screen is not required.

A keypad on the keyboard would be a massive plus!

 

It does not need to be super light or thin and battery life is not a concern. I am looking into Lenovo and Dell laptops right now and am convinced with the Lenovo 700 80RV002WUS, the Dell Inspiron 15 500 Series, and the Dell Inspiron i5567-3654GRY. Please let me know which laptops you guys find!

You might be able to find a really good used ThinkPad or a used XPS 13/15 for around that price.

Hello!

 

Small Update:

 

        I am now looking into the Lenovo Thinkpad E570 with the following specs at $779.00:

               

                Intel Core i5-7200U Processor (3M Cache, up to 3.10 GHz)

                Windows 10 Home 64 Bit

                15.6" HD(1366x768) LED Backlight AntiGlare Non-Touch

                8GB DDR4-2133 SODIMM

                Intel HD Graphics 620

                Keyboard with Number Pad

                500GB Hard Disk Drive, 7200rpm, 2.5", SATA3

 

        Plus: getting a 256GB SSD would only cost an extra $50 so I have the option.

 

What do you guys think of this one?

I don't think Lenovo has an outlet, but I'm pretty sure you can find Business Thinkpads, NEW, for the specs and price you're looking for.  They're pretty decent machines for the price.

 

If you do a search for 'Dell Outlet', you can go to their direct outlet portal and select 'Laptops > For Work' and find either open box or Scratch & Dent models with the specs you're looking at for $150-$200 under your budget.  I found a Latitude with similar specs containing an i7 and a 500GB 7200RPM drive for $649.  It even had a dedicated 2GB nVidia card.  The outlet site changes regularly, so check often.
