    Hey looking for an everyday mid range laptop for about €700

    Not upgrading from anything for don't have one to go off.
    I like the look of the one I saw recommended on here the honour magicbook 14 just regards the processor I have seen online that it comes with the option on an Intel i5 but I can't find them available. Is their pro or cons of the AMD version?

    Any other recommendations welcome. Thank you

    the magicbook is a great option

    the 4-core ryzen 5 runs at its full potential in that laptop due to good thermal design.

    it has better integrated graphics than the intels and almost as good on general cpu duties - you won't notice any difference at all in normal tasks.

    it's very well built and good value

    Yeah the spec look good just not used to that particular brand. All reviews I have found seem great to be fair.

    Any thoughts on their brand, good quality? Easy to repair if needed down the line?

    it's made by Huawei. Honor is just a sub-brand.

    Huawei make excellent laptops (and phones).
