Hey guys

 

I am struggling to find a laptop that suits my needs.

 

Basically my requirements are IPS even better OLED display in at least 15" size

 

 

120 GB of SSD, might go down to 60 GB for an M2 ssd.

 

I dont need addional storage, howevee ot would be cool if i could expand the storage with a HDD in the future.

 

Also it should have newest  I7 or I5 cpu.

 

Any ideas?

 

Cheers

I live in Switzerland.

Budget i can't really say 500- 600 bucks. The less the better. It's more a question what the minimum is i would need to spend for those features.

 

Web browsing and watching movies in 60 fps. Maybe some gaming once in a while, but nothing too crazy.

Atm i found Notebook 15,6" Pavilion 15-BS037NZ its from a sort of Swiss Ebay, price atm is 260 USD 5 hours left til the end of the auction.

 

Besides that  chinese laptops with oled display. The only downside is those with 15,6"  oled display have a 3th gen I7 CPU, not sure if its a good odea to buy a lAptop with a 5 year old cpu.

 

There is also the same model, cheaper alteenative with J1900 cpu.

 

Or from the same brand with either I5 6198DU or with i7 6500U. Has howevee a 500 gb hdd which i dont need and also a GT940MX cpu. Price would be 712-757 USD. But maybe they can give it cheaper for me if i ask them if its possible to buy it without the HDD. Still a bit over my budget. 

 

The others with 7th gen Intel CPU have only a 13.3" display which is too small for me. 

 

I will add the links later
