Looking for general purpose+ heavy web browsing + entertainment laptop

[mfgbaba]

As the title suggests, I'm looking for a new laptop for general purpose + heavy web browsing + entertainment purpose.

• Budget : $700 ( ₹ 50,000 )
• Country : India

The required specifications are as below.

• CPU: Core i5 or Ryzen 5
• RAM : 8 GB DDR4
• Screen : 15.6" or more ( bright and vibrant color)
• Display type : IPS is highly preferred but a great TN panel with good color accuracy and good brightness-contrast ratio will work too.
• OS : Windows 10
• CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? : None.
• Things which don't matter: Form factor, battery life, thickness, weight, or build quality. I will use this laptop mostly indoor and keep it plugged in.

 

A backlit keyboard will be good. But it's not absolute necessary.

 

I'm looking for a better than good display for movie watching experience and YouTube streaming with good brightness and color accuracy. I looked up many laptops but many of them sell TN,VA or TFT display. The ones which sell IPS display have low color accuracy with not so bright screen. I was unsatisfied with the most displays which fall in my budget. A friend of mine suggested me to get a laptop with decent IPS display and use a software for color calibration. I'm not sure how much it will change the quality of output. If you have any experience regarding this then please do share.

 

I want to use this laptop for 3-4 years at least.

 

Thanks

Look at the ThinkPad E590

 

If that is out of budget, the HP ProBook 450 G5 or G6

What about the E570 or 580? Or an EliteBook 755 or 850?
