Looking for a new laptop

[MasalaKing]

I'm looking for a new laptop.
I don't know much but I want it to be fast. To be able to handle multiple browser tabs open, Word & Excel simultaneously.
I'm not using it for games.

Maybe an i7 or i5 with 8 to 12 GB RAM, 1920x1080 display, 15" screen.
I heard Dell or Lenovo is best.

Can someone recommend something good for under R15k?

Why does the link state 16GB but the webpage 8GB?

I like it.
But I think the screen is too small.
Can I get it in a 15.6" for that price?

That would be more than adequate for your needs.

I would usually suggest a Dell Latitude 5500 i5/256GB/16GB however I have no stock of them currently.
