Looking for a couple of laptop recommendations

[TechMonkey_UK]

Hi LTT, long time lurker (or watcher of YouTube videos) and first time poster (so forgive me if I miss anything that is meant be posted)

 

I am looking for 2 laptops and wanted opinions on what people would recommend in both cases.

 

Max budget is £1,000 each and I am in the UK (if thats not clear from the £ symbol)

 

Laptop 1

 

- Daily Driver

- Needs portability

- Will be hooked up to a dock for 2 additional monitors when in office

- Some video editing

- Mostly used with tech support environment with very varied workload

- Style not too important

- Touch screen would be nice but not essential

- Battery life, I would like 6 hours minimum

- No Gaming on it

- 256GB SSD is minimum

- Must be able to upgrade (larger SSD, more RAM etc)

 

 

Laptop 2

 

- Daily Driver

- General Office Stuff  - Documents, Web, Email etc

- Stylish appearance is more important

- Touch Screen is a bonus

- Long battery life essential

 

These are for use in a business but we have a Microsoft partnership, so they can come with Windows Home if it's cheaper and we can replace with Pro

 

Let me know if you need anything else and thanks in advance

Laptop 2 suggestion would be the Huawei Matebook 13. 

 

should be more or less the best at that pricepoint according to what you listed. 

 

it has both touchscreen and 3:2 aspect ratio screen for office work

For laptop 1:

Max weight preferred in kg/lbs? Any preference on display size? Mind low sRGB display and non-upgradable RAM?

 

For laptop 2:

What do you mean by stylish appearance? Is touch screen a must? Prefer min how many hours of battery life?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRGB

TLDR: Higher = colours more vibrant

Do you mind low sRGB or prefer higher?
