laptop for friend

[narrdarr]

so trying to find something that works for my friend. but the market is so saturated. finding something thats tailored to his budget and needs has been tough.

 

budget is $800 us

 

needs:

basic multitasking

no gaming

but the kicker is he watches a lot of movies and wants a killer screen. UHD perferred

hes a bigger guys so i was thinking decent size keyboard layout.

also wanted decent amount of ports.

dont mind using thunderbolt. 

 

 originally tried  to find an i5 or i7 , 860m with an UHD  thinking that the price would have drop well by now. well the ones i've found are way over budget.

 

any help is appreciated

 

my goal:

i5

gpu with UHD (4k)

ssd (small is fine)

15<

keyboard decent for large fingers

multiple ports

hmm UHD in that price bracket could be a ask he fine with refurb stuff ?

 

EDIT: here is a suggestion, it's $200 more but it hard to fine something with UHD which is cheap
