deal? Are they good deals?

[Stefzia]

First of all, I have a laptop with a 15.6 bad screen and it strains my eyes, especially when I am at work and I am  using its monitor( I am working as a DJ-5 hour sessions. So first goal is to find a

laptop with a good screen. After that I am a student- electrical and computer engineer- so I am spending a lot of time mobile. I have found these from a seller(open box/new): 

 

Lenovo V17 G3 IAP i5-1235U, 8GB RAM 512GB SSD, οθόνη IPS 17.3", wifi 6, type c, sd card  340€

 

Thinkbook 15G2 ITL  i5 1135G7, 16 RAM , 512 SSD backlight keyboard and fingerprint 340€

 

HP  15s-eq2237ng notebook 230€

 

Ryzen 3 5300U, 8GB RAM 512GB SSD,      Type-C, screen 15.6" small dent in the side

 

 

Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2 12.4" Touchscreen (i5-1135G7/8GB/128GB SSD/W11 Pro) Platinum

surface with touch screen 380 €

 

 

Are any of these worth it for me?(Personally I am thinking the Lenovo V17 G3 IAP and/or the Surface Laptop Go 2)

 

After that,regardless of my needs are there any of them good deals so that I don't miss out on them ?

You really DO NOT want something with just 8gb of ram and the surface is non upgradable.

 

The thinkbook is the better option as is the v17 will be quite nice after a ram upgrade.

 

However the thinkbook has a flat out better screen color production wise (usually also means lesser eye strain) but it has a 11th gen chip so battery life sucks.

look at these 2, and look at each's price, and you tell me if it's really worth to pay more for less

What do you mean more for less?

How do you know about the v17's screen Vs the thinkbook's screen? 

 

And after that isn't the surface a good bargain for the asking price?

Googled reviews. The v17 has less color spectrum coverage.

No. 8gb of ram is NOT enough. It is legit an issue even for office work. I'd avoid it as this isn't going to end well.

in the comparison:

 

Thinkbook is 11th gen + 16GB of ram + 512GB disk for 340 €

 

Surface is 11th gen + 8GB ram + 128GB for 380 € (you get half ram, 4x less storage and you pay 40€ more)
