home office laptop suggestion

kam3qnwvebf4jh

Looking to pick up a laptop with decent screen estate, 15 and up. fast bootup .
Will be using it to work remotely from my office. Connection will be to a citrix server so I'm thinking cpu not a major consideration. Will probably use it on my commute for browsing, watching movies as well. Won't be used for gaming at all.
Could stretch to 700 max.

Thanks

I would recommend something in the Lenovo E series range.

Link to one here for €550

Only drawback i will say about it is the pre-loaded OS, full of trials and utilities that you may never use.

I swear by the Lenovos myself. I do think however that the 15.6 size is a little too big for sitting in a bus seat with someone else beside you. Could we convince you to try a 14 inch screen? My own laptop is a t410 core i5 which i picked up on adverts.ie earlier this year for €300. I upgraded it myself to the full 8gb memory and am running a triple boot system with more operating systems installed as virtual machines! Being a business line laptop it can take running continuously all day (and sometimes all night)without any problems. It has a very useful auto drive stop for absorbing light impacts, although if you want fast startup an SSD is most definitely the way to go. Also, the fan intake is not mounted at the bottom, so you can safely use it on your lap during your commute, knowing that you won't be blocking the airflow or drawing fibers from your clothes.

If you are considering a Lenovo keep an eye on the outlet. I got a x230 a few months back with a discount of 350
