[QUOTE="user 1995, post: 1011402, member: 1995"] Without knowing exactly what your intended usage is, it is a little difficult to make recommendations. For a good middle of the road machine:- [list] [*]14 - 15.6" screen. I have a 14" as my personal machine and find the keyboard a bit small but not unmanageable. [*]1920 x 1080 resolution. In this day and age, anything less than that does not make sense. [*]An Intel i5 processor would be fine for most normal work. My experience with an 8th Gen i5-8265U was surprisingly good in an HP laptop I purchased for my daughter. I have no experience with the AMD Ryzens. [*]256 SSD or NVMe is ok but limiting after a while. [*]8GB RAM at minimum [*]Most importantly, support and warranty. Laptops do go belly up, more so than desktops. A 1-year warranty is just not enough. 3 years would be my minimum. A 3 year on-site would be best. [/list] I tend to stick with Dell, Lenovo and HP. I know these are rather broad recommendations but hopefully, they will help. [/QUOTE]
