Need Recommendation for $700 Windows Laptop

[jamesageiger]

I am a web developer and had a MacBook Air from years ago, but want to get back into Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition. Thus, I want a good windows laptop for around $700. Can someone recommend a few? I want good battery life, good screen and trackpad, and good build quality. I also want the new Xe graphics from intel.

Have they even released those yet and have those even seen the light of day?

Hi, yes I think they have those under the EVO platform. I just want the integrated Xe graphics I meant.

Yeah with all the chip shortages I’m not sure you’re gonna find that in the $700 range

What would I need to up my budget to?

So I guess you can get it with the I7 and then you could just add more ram in a larger SSD but the HPs are really good. Check out the HP laptops with touchscreens I just got my son one for 700 and it’s AMD base and it’s phenomenal. He was blown away by the performance
