I am in need of a laptop for high school. I don't need to play games on it. All I need is a laptop that has preferably windows, can run Microsoft Office programs, watch youtube and netflix and browse the internet. I would love it if someone would find a laptop that ticks all the boxes that I've said and that has a resolution of 1920x1080. Price limit is 600€

 

Thank you in advance.

In term of raw spec maybe, but since size, and weight can be a issue for some + touchscreem is a nice addon. You just can't say that one computer is better than another. I mean if you don't need to cary it all the day i'll take the W530, but I do carry it every single day so 12'' and 1.3kg are best for me. 

Depends on everyone needs as said before
