Who it suits

It is usually bought for people who need a portable main machine and work and study.

Background

A laptop is a set of compromises between speed, battery life, weight and screen size. There is no configuration that wins on all four, so the useful question is which of them you are willing to give up. Against the other 4139 laptops we list, this one sits towards the upper end of the range at R30 205, with most falling between R3 609 and R41 862.

Points to check

• Check the port selection against what you actually plug in, and whether you will need a hub on top.
• Memory is the specification most people under-buy. It is also the hardest to change later on thin machines where it is soldered.
• Look at the specification you will still care about in two years, not only the one that matters this week.
