LAPTOP BUYING HELP

Hi, I'm looking for a new laptop since my old HP Pavilion G6 is too slow now. I need the laptop for mainly University, office work and watching netflix/yt I have a budget of around £1000 but can go upto £1200 if needed.

Please if you have any suggestions could it be available to purchase in the UK and a max of around a month waiting time.

I would like the laptop to have a good screen, preferably 16gb of ram, good battery life and build quality as I want it to last me a few years.

The laptops I have been looking at already are

Lenovo T14s/T14 - R7 4750u, 16-32gb 512-1tb SSD 400nit 72% NTSC (Between £1100-1200)

Huawei Matebook 14 2020- R7 4800H 16gb 512gb ssd 300 nit 2k display 3:2 Ratio (£854)

HP envy x360 - R7 4700u 16gb 512 ssd 300nit 72% NTSC
(£949)

If you have any other recommendations or personal opinions about the laptops I listed it would be appreciated :D


Thanks 👍

So no gaming or difficult tasks to speak of.  I’m not sure you even need 4 cores or a discrete gpu. Or a lot of memory.  University often means lugging the thing from class to class so good battery life, light weight, ruggedness, and I/o are the major factors.  What about a used MacBook Air?  Surface pro as well perhaps.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

Before Buying laptop you need to consider different criteria, including screen size, battery life, Processor, and Ram. I bought acer laptop after reviewing this source and it helped me alot. Now i am fully satisfied with my choice and smoothly working on my projects.
