Hi All,

Looking into purchasing a laptop and seeking advice.

Looking to purchase a 14 or 15 inch FHD laptop with an 8th Gen i5,8GB Ram with the potential to upgrade and a 1TB HDD.
Ideally I would have liked a laptop that has dual drive capability but it isn't a must.

I have considered

https://www.incredible.co.za/hp-pavilion-15-i5-notebook

Based on reviews on these 2 laptops, the screens seemed washed out. So it has given me some doubts
another option I've looked at is :
https://www.incredible.co.za/hp-pavilion-x360-i5-2in1-notebook

Has what i'm looking for, screen was crystal clear and had vivid colours.

I would like to spend R15k but may be willing to push it a little more to R16k.

Hope someone can advise

Thanks

Flashgear in classified (dealers section).
Demos or slightly used @greatly reduced price.
 
Dell Latitude E7490 pretty much fits your description. Can't say I'm sure about the pricing though, you'd have to check around.

There's a great website to see thorough (German-level thorough) reviews - notebookcheck.net. Check it out before you buy.

Hey @Drkknight ,

Drop me a PM and I’ll give you a few options, with that budget you’ll get something really decent and more than likely well above your mentioned specs.

Regards,
Flash

Hi Drkknight,

You may want to consider MSI PS42 :)
https://www.evetech.co.za/msi-prest...sional-laptop-deal/laptops-for-sale/9649.aspx

It's full aluminum chassis, i7 with 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD - Should suit your need and is within your budget :thumbsup:

A SSD should be a requirement, unless you planning on getting one later.
