Where can I get a 17" laptop?

    The moves seem to be toward smaller laptops these days. But I am looking for a business laptop with the following spec. Any of the ones I see with 17" screens are for gaming etc which is overkill for me. This'll be for business use and I tend tohave a lot of windows open, hence 8GB RAM. Any suggestions where I could buy this?

    17" screen, mostly Office 365 use, maybe watch the odd streamed movie.
    Win 10 Pro
    8GB RAM
    256GB SSD
    USB 3
    Long working time on battery
    Not too worried about size or weight.

    Many thanks for any suggestions.

    17" machines are rare these days, but Dell does still sell a few. The Inspiron 17 looks like a decent option, although I don't have any experience with this model. From looking at their site it doesn't appear that they offer this model with an SSD, but it would be pretty cost effective to buy a 256GB drive and pop it in yourself. 256GB SSDs are very cheap these days, so you can get a mid quality one for a decent bit under €100 on Amazon.co.uk
