£600- £900
2. What is the size of the notebook that you are considering?
15inch or there abouts

4. Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop?
At home and in hospital it’d be basically static and plugged into the mains
I do plan on saving up again and building a desktop at that point
5. How much battery life do you need?
I’ve become used to 4hrs but closer to 10 would be nice
6. Do you want to play games with your laptop? If so then please list the games that you want to with the settings that you want for these games. (Low,Medium or High)?
With downtime/recovery in hospital i’m hoping to get through unplayed classics bought in steam sales before buying newer more processor-hungry ones. The first few Batman, witcher and assassin’s creed games, the 2 skyrim dlc similar old titles should take me a few years or until i don’t have time to play again.
7. What other tasks do you want to do with your laptop? (Photo/Video editing, Etc.)
Basic video/ audio editing (ripped vhs and the kid’s birthdays still need cleaning up)

An old injury is getting worse, fast and the thought of having only my old laptop (with blown speakers and temperamental keyboard) to prevent cabin fever during a hospital stay fills me with dread.

With your help i won’t stupidly impulse buy a dud.
