Suggestions for a laptop

[blunomore]

My husband uses a laptop almost exclusively for making presentations and reading documents.

He currently has a small laptop (Acer, I think) but this just does not seem sufficient anymore. He needs something with a a bit of a larger screen and more 'woema'! It is just very slow and not doing the trick anymore.

Can you suggest something? Budget is approx R10 000.

Gigabyte Q1742 http://www.gigabyte.co.za/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4226#kf

South of R10k
2 year warranty
17.3" 1600x900 screen
Core i7 quad processor (future proof)
8GB RAM/memory
750GB hard drive - perhaps swap for a solid state drive, much faster than a hard drive at the cost of capacity - 120GB SSD +-R1,500, makes a helluva difference especially in laptops
Decent graphics card

Some options.

*Note many of these laptops has onsite upgrade options.

Use the product code to search for the product at your favourit store.
Sometimes you have to explicitly ask for the warranty upgrade options.

Have a look at the Samsung range of Ultrabooks.

Got a Series 5 Ultra i3 from Takealot recently and it's awesome! Service was good too!

I have seen the Series 5 Ultra i5 at Makro, Dion Wired, IC and a few other stores for around R8999-R9999. The warranty is 3 years on the i5 and 2 years on the i3 (please confirm this). Would recommend this range based on my experience. The screen is 14" though. The Series 9 Ultrabooks have bigger screens but then its a bit out of budget.

Hope this helps
