Looking for a laptop for work

[Verrierr]

Hi,

as the topic states, I'm currently on the hunt for a laptop which I will be using primarily for work (e-mails, web browsing, documents) therefore I don't need a lot of performance or storage. What I do want however is a solid battery life. I don't know much about laptops so I'm currently trying to narrow down on a manufacturer and model series. Dell's Latitude series is on my radar right now, but honestly it's mostly due to the fact that it's the only business laptop series I know of, so I'm looking for alternatives for comparison.

 

I'm also wondering if perhaps I should wait for the release of Zen core based APUs. Do you think I might save much by doing this? Also does anyone have any idea how long  AMD will take until they release their full lineup?

Ryzen laptops will be here in a few months, but if you need a laptop right now I would suggest the LG gram

I shouldn't be recommending laptops for work (I work in a law firm and use an Alienware machine for Gods sake) but a LG Gram seems like a good choice, or if you like MacOS, a Macbook Air.

Well for that kind of use case you might consider the MacBook:

If you think you will need USB ports or HDMI ports you can get this as well:
