no high sRGB display (55 and 56 are very different)

So what is the difference then for normal use? finding a good laptop can be quite though ive come to notice. so many different models

You said you wanted good display - lower sRGB means colours are less vibrant (less accurate due to low colour coverage)

oh right, yeah I do prefer nicer colours indeed.

The 55 seems to be going out of stock some places I checked. Ill have a look if i can find one of those then instead.

Acer swift 3 is a solid choice tho for within my budget /uni ?

well in general i mean. The 55 I can hardly find anywhere at the moment here in Netherlands. Found one but thats 849EUR with a i7.

 

I use tweakers.net for price comparison/availbility in Netherlands

Swift 3 is decent in general (for consumer grade)

Zenbook I really liked but says only 5H battery but for the rest looks good for price

https://www.coolblue.nl/product/831484/asus-zenbook-ux431fa-am082t.html (EUR699

 

The lenevo has 8H which would be enough, but still runs on ddr3 (EUR799)

HP Pavilion 13-an0370nd

Currently on offer from EUR899 for EUR699.

I used to have a pavilion years and years ago and was quite happy with it.

 

What do you think? Apologize for the many questions

 

 

edit 

 

found this model from 999 to 806 - really pushing budget, but seems to have best screen + same specs + long battery life

HP ENVY 13-aq0610nd 

Thoughts?

 

Scherm	13,3-inch (33,8-cm) full HD-scherm
Scherm	13,3-inch full HD-scherm
Helderheid	700-nits
Kleurbereik	72% NTSC
Scherm	HP Sure View geïntegreerd privacyscherm 13,3" (33,8 cm) FHD IPS micro-edge WLED-backlit met randloos glas (1920 x 1080)

Hmmm..

 

though choices ... really not sure what to pick with the options available.

 

So that swift 3 56 model I saw is fine besides a bad colour panel if I understand correct?

 

the envy has the best screen of all(models we spoke about), correct?

its a nice discount, only thing not sure about is the 13.3” compared to 14”

Yes, but personally I'll go for Thinkpad E series (or maybe L series)

should be SureView since it has 700 nits display (according to the provided spec sheet)

Yes that’s correct, copied from HP. 

Leaning towards it right now instead of 999, 806 good deal. Yes the swift is 649 but I’d say the HP is much better. I’ll have a look at the thinkpad models you mentioned again

Well... less than 24 hours and it’s already bent.

 

a roof hatch fell on my head and sent me down the stairs..

Well that's what you will get with consumer grade laptops...
