New laptop needed

Thanks for the replies guys. Interesting. Keep them coming.

Seems generally a for Chromebooks.

Greig. That Asus Ryzen in your link looks very interesting but "membrane keyboard"? Not going back to my ZX80 days surely.

Yeah there’s a load of them going that way. Claims that it improves durability. Reality is it’s cheaper to manufacture.

But bang for buck on that laptop will be hard to beat. 7th gen processor, DDR5 5500MHz RAM and a 512Gb NVMe drive for under £350.

Tempted to buy one as a work spare.

Samsung with the fantastic Core i3-1315U for the same price. You lose a little HDD space and the memory is DDR4 but the processor packs more punch.

Maybe a little overkill for streaming and emails but more is less in this case.
