  • Wife needs a new laptop to replace ancient Sony.

    It’s primarily for working from home, so office apps and lots of stuff running at once, but nothing taxing. It would be nice if it could do a bit of a photoshop as she’s into her photography too.

    Any ideas? Was looking at Ryzen 3500 laptops?

  • I've just bought a Dell Inspiron 15 7501. My usage profile is very similar to what you describe for your wife.

    With discount codes etc I got the i5 model for about £550. I spent another £50 sticking an extra 8GB of RAM in.

    I'm extremely pleased with it. For the money I can't imagine you can do better. Eats up my spreadsheets and docs. Performance is very good for day to day stuff. Screen is more than adequate in terms of brightness for indoor use.

    Worth a look.

    If you wanted to spend a little more you'll get a better brighter screen. Take a look at Huawei Matebook 14 and Pro X. Outstanding machines for the money, have 3k screens and a more business appropriate aspect ratio.
