New Laptop (Not for gaming)

[Geekie]

Hello there,

A friend of mine is looking for a new laptop and thought I should ask you guys about some advice.

I've already been looking a bit at the Asus ZenBook family so if you happened to know anything about any of these leave a comment below!

 

The only requirements that he gave me was:

 

- 15" screen

- Not top notch when it comes to price (not too cheap either so I guess around $1000)

- He wants it to have quick startup time, be able to save all important programs.

- Plug and play

- He will do some work on this laptop, browse the web, but no hardcore tasks like photoshop or gaming on it.

 

Thanks for any suggestions!

There are many options. Could you provide some links of online stores in your country? I can help you to pick

Here are three of the most popular ones.

 

for price in NOK 6000-10 000 but 10k must be a good deal.

Excellent:

Asus Zenbook UX430UAR

Lenovo Ideapad 720S, Thinkpad E580, L380, L480, L580

Acer Spin 5, Swift 5

HP Envy 13

 

Good:

HP Envy x360 15, Lenovo Yoga 520

Lenovo Ideapad 320S 15, Acer Aspire 5 15/17 (if you want to save cost)

 

Make sure it has at least 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD

 

Also, check reviews first before buying, no laptop is perfect. Notebookcheck, Ultrabookreview and Laptopmedia have in depth reviews. Example: Swift 5 is lacking battery life (OKish) due to thin profile
