Hi there,
shortly before Amazon Prime Day(s) I am trying to find a new notebook for home use. (for my wife to be exact)
Device will be used mostly for surfing and a bit of office work (license already available). In rare cases streaming (Amazon Prime obviously) will be also a use case.
Spec-wise we are talking something like this:
Is the above doable with a 500€ budget? Less is of course appriciated, as the device will not be the main working device in our house.
If not, what had to be scaled down to hit the budget?
Hope you can give me a hint into the right direction.
Thank you very much in advance!
Sebastian

Spec-wise we are talking something like this:
- 15 to 17 inches screen-size
- "ultra-book" style (I have seen laptops with 1,5 cm height, that would be nice)
- light weight --> old notebook is 2,7 kg, new one should be less than 2, more like 1,5 kg
- onboard-graphics is enough, no dedicated GPU needed
- Windows 10 installed
- have used intel CPUs for years, never had a problem, so i3 or i5 would be nice --> exception: if AMD offers same performance/features for less money
- 4GB RAM, 8GB if budget allows
- 128GB SSD, more if budget allows
- hdmi for connection to TV or monitor if needed
- LAN port
- WLAN (of course)
- 2-3 USB ports (3.0 or even 2.0 would do if that matters)
- dedicated num-pad-keys would be nice
