My sister needs a new laptop, she is still rocking a 2015 model with Intel Core I7 Gen 5 CPU, 8GB RAM, and a 1TB HDD. It has seen better days and she has given me a budget no higher than £1000, preferably under (around the $800 mark) I have been looking at Ryzen 5000H (8/16) series laptops, 16GB RAM, 1TB NVME. She will be using it for photo editing and general office work. She wants something that is going to last her. Was looking at something like this. https://www.scan.co.uk/products/156...gb-ddr4-1tb-nvme-ssd-radeon-graphic-usb-32-ge Any other recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.
@CPC_RedDawn That lappy only uses iGPU, which is lolwtf. You can see if any Asus G15 AE (G513QY) units are about, which is what I grabbed for myself. They were $1100 when I nabbed one, and has a great 98% DCI-P3 gamut 1440p panel, and has a 5980HX + 6800M 12GB. If not, you should still be able to grab one with some sort of dGPU.
dGPU isn't really needed, she won't be gaming at all. Does casual/light photo editing benefit a lot from a dGPU? cheers. edit: can't find any models from the one you listed, all I can find are well over £1000. They can't go over that at all and prefereably around the £800 or lower.
Thanks for the input. She got an Asus vivobook. 5900HX 16GB RAM 1TB nvme RTX3050 OLED screen too (edited) Found it for £799
I wouldn't touch anything apple makes and that goes for the advice I give to family and friends. Thanks for the recommendation, I do like their M chips though but their software is just atrocious, my sister has never used OSX or a mac for that matter, the SSD size would fill up in seconds (she already has over 300GB in photos alone on her old laptop, and its waaaaaaaaaaay out of their price range.
