My mum is in the market for a new Laptop here are what she wants from it,

A full HD display

£450 

Best battery life you can get

ssd or sshdd combonation.

 

 

We have looked at the Lenovo Z50 and think that is ideal except for the battery life.

Thanks a lot for your help B)

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

I3 4150, Intel HD graphics, corsair CX750M, 4gb ram, Asus H81M-E, corsair 230T, Intel stock cooler WD Green 2TB Gigabyte 550TI

Why you shouldn't trust Gpu or Cpu boss Click on this I dare you!

yeah, the battery controller in my lenovo died right after the warranty period.  Don't buy their garbage. Unless it's one of their classic-styled thinkpads.

Ok do you have any reccomendations for a different laptops to get then?

That AMD CPU though. My mom has a relatively fast one in her home / work hp and it is terribly slow, even when compared to her work lenovo with an i5-2XXX MQ. I would definitely go with an i5 / i7-XXXX U processor and ofc 8GB of RAM.

 

Some that i would consider in that price range are:

i7 128GB SSD 465 pounds: https://www.lambda-tek.com/Lenovo-59405852~sh/B2006446&origin=skinflint30.8

i7 256GB SSD 479 pounds: https://www.lambda-tek.com/Lenovo-59405853~sh/B2627305&origin=skinflint30.8

i5 128GB SSD 455 pounds: https://www.lambda-tek.com/Lenovo-80K6003TGE~sh/B2637347&origin=skinflint30.8

i5 500GB SSHD (8GB SSD cache) 431 pounds (i have had first hand experience with this laptop and it is a really portable and study device): https://www.lambda-tek.com/Lenovo-59424687~sh/B2627398&origin=skinflint30.8
