Which laptop?

[Herr der Verboten]

Looking to buy a new laptop and would appreciate suggestions on which one to get.
I will only use this machine for social media and online games (e.g. Forge of Empires).
Don't really have a brand preference.
I have a fantastic PC, so the laptop is purely for online things.
Thanks!

This laptop?

This is upgradable

That unit seems to be a great price, but not sure how the integrated graphics compete with discrete. Although it doesn't matter in the use case wanted by OP. This might be the best value for money option.

Nice! Let me know how it is. I'm interested to know what the OLED is like on that Asus considering the price.

Surely something like running an OS with its static bars is at high risk of OLED burn in?

From what I understand ASUS has software that solves this problem

ASUS B1500CEAE-I58512B0X / ASUS P1511CJA-I78512G1X​

How about the Asus Expert book range?

Have had this recomended to me: Asus Expertbook P1511, i5, 16 gb RAM and Win 11 pro, for R15k plus VAT.

Use is general O365, so full keyboard and 15,6 in screen is a must.

Thoughts?

Where is a Good place to buy?
