Hi all.
Looking for some advice for a mid-range laptop.
My usage is fairly basic: internet browsing, email, youtube, facebook, online trading etc. but I would rather buy something that has more than the basic requirements.
Started off thinking an i3 at around R7k should be fine but going further down the rabbit hole i am now browsing i5 and Ryzen machines at around the R10k mark.
One that i'm currently interested in is the Lenovo L340. Price R10350 + around R600 for warranty upgrade to 3 years.
Specs:
15.6 FHD; Ryzen 5 3500U; 8GB
(4GB Onboard); 512GB SSD M.2; Integrated Graphics; Granite
Black; Win 10
My only concern is that 4GB onboard memory. I would feel much better if it just had 2 regular slots so ram could be replaced or upgraded if need be. I wouldnt want to have them collect and repair my laptop just because of a ram issue.
Another option is the Dell 3593.
Any input or other suggestions welcome.
512gb ssd, at least 8gb, HD screen, 10k or less.
Bonus would be a backlit keyboard, i dont think either of these have it.
Thanks
