Laptop recommendations

[Eaton008]

Hi, I'm looking at buy a new laptop but I really haven't kept to to date with any deals or anything. I've got a budget of about £500-£600 maybe a little more. I'm hoping someone could help me out here

Any preference on weight, display size and battery life? Usage?

If I'm being honest Im not too botheres about screen size , I'd rather have better quality. And for power something with a bit of power ,an i5 or Ryzen 5. Not to fussed on battery and I'll use it most of the day. I like the Microsoft surface laptops but it's a bit out of my price range, I like it's typing experience.

You can get quadcore AMD or Intel CPUs in ultrabooks in the 600$-700$ range. But you won't get anything above a Full HD display at that price point at least as far as I know.

Thanks you. Full HD is fine with me lol. Just looking for an all-rounder I guess

Do you want to game on the Laptop? If that is the case it will get pretty to tough to find something at the pricepoint that also has a dedicated graphic card that is fast enough for current games.
