Ive been needing a new laptop a while now and have settled on a few key requirements
14inch preferred

i5 processor at very least

8GB RAM

128+ GB SSD (preferably 256GB)

Somewhat portable, 14" should take care of that, dont want anything too bulky and fairly light

Would be used for watching movies/eurosport etc. Ok speakers would be a bonus with decent viewing angles

Willing to pay up to about €750

In that range im seeing the following:
Dell Vostro 5468 Intel Core i5-7200U 8GB 256GB SSD 14.0
Perhaps a little bulky?

Acer Swift 3 SF314-51 Core i5-7200U 8GB 256GB SSD
Seems to get some mixed reviews

Lenovo Yoga 710 14" Intel Core i5-7200U 8GB 128GB SSD
No HDMI it seems and a reduced SSD

Anyone spot anything else in that range around that might be better?
