Hei good people of linustechtips

 

I have been considering new laptop, but I do not know how to get "best bang for the buck", so I sorta came here. And I also watch a lot of linus tech tips on youtube, so, big fan 
My budget is up to about 600 dollars. And there is no special gaming requierments, battery life is preffered with occasional csgo at 60 fps, and apex eventually, maybe. 
I am from Croatia so prices may vary, but I am very happy with every suggestion.

I need laptop mostly for virtualization, and workload, and it need to be workstation oriented (Ryzen is my preffered cpu).

15.6 inch laptop is preffered because I have laptop backpack for 15.6 inch.

 

 

I have also came across this laptop => HP 15 6WS18EA

CPU: Ryzen 5 3500U

RAM: 8 GB DDR4

HDD: 1 TB 

SSD: 256 GB

GPU: Radeon RX Vega 8

15.6 inch FHD

 

 

 

And also, my question is, would this be good laptop for the money?

Should I go for Ryzen 5 2500U that cost a bit less, and is 3500U decently better than 2500U?

Thanks for every advice (or opinion about HP laptop), I really appreciate it

Look for business models if gaming is not a big factor.

 

Lenovo ThinkPad models, Dell Latitude models and the HP EliteBook series. These are allnmid to high end business laptops with vastly superior quality and durability.

 

If those are out of budget, HP ProBooks and Dell Vostro are the second go-to for non gaming use. They are entry level business devices and still better than the junk like the low end IdeaPad, inspirons, pavilions and aspires.
