Hi,
Wifey currently on Maternity with our 2nd child and already said she doesnt want to go back to work but to go Self Employed.
A old colleague she worked with has set up a marketing company and willing to take her on as a contractor.
So decided may as well buy a brand new laptop for "business use" but can also use at home as our currently Dell Inspiron 1545 isnt performing very well and she always wanted a laptop that can be used as a tablet.
What is your budget?
£800-£1,000
What size laptop do you want?
Probably Ultraportable laptops size as need to be carried around but depends if she can get on with the smaller screens
Do you have resolution requirements?
No
Do you prefer a matte or glossy (reflective) screen?
Not aware of the difference
What will you be using the laptop for?
MS Office, Internet, browsing, viewing photos and dabble with editing, iPlayer
How long does the battery need to last?
+3-4hrs?
Does it need to be portable?
Ideally yes as needs to be carried around
Do you require Blu-Ray?
No
Do you require HDMI output?
No
Do you have a preferred brand?
No preference
Are there brands you would prefer to avoid?
No preference although not keen Apple fan (ie MacBook Air primarily due to price)
Would you be happy with a refurbished laptop?
Not too concerned
Any other details you feel necessary
Our first choice is currently the Lenovo Yoga although that is primarily due to marketing (was one of the first we've seen on TV) but I thought I put it out there and see what other recommendations you guys have.
I have no ideas about computer systems and software but just like a laptop that is fast in terms of loading up and be able to use sharpish, and be able to handle photo and editing as we have loads of pics of our kids and I would like to get more involved with Photography.
Pretty much open to suggestions so recommend away!
Kind regards
Gary
