New Laptop or Notebook Needed For Work

[skk3]

As above, I am starting a new sales job shortly and have been asked to source a new laptop.

I am open to suggestions and would require the following attributes:

Light
Not necessarily full size
HDMI
Ethernet
USBs
Windows 10 for PowerPoint, Word, Excel & Outlook etc.
Fast as possible
Good RAM/ROM
Long battery life
Budget approx. £300.00 or so
Not bothered about manufacturer, just performance
Guarantee?
No gaming required, just web surfing and emails
Upgradeable

I hope I have included enough criteria and would appreciate any help and advice.

I'm not sure if 'source' is corporate jargon for providing a link to the company but if you're buying yourself then I'd probably be looking at nearly new models and second hand with those criteria as the budget models available new at that price won't meet several of your criteria.

You'll get something on the Dell outlet around that budget. Practically brand new with a years warranty.

I was told if a laptop's battery is above a certain size, you cannot take it into the cabin of an aircraft. Is this true?

A search suggests that the Americans have a 101Wh limit per battery but only the very largest laptop batteries approach that size and I don't know if anything using one battery actually goes over it. Most laptop ranges top out at around 60-70Wh and budget devices are typically 30-40Wh.
