Suggestion to Replace My Current (Gigabyte R3) Laptop

Hi all,

My current laptop is a Gigabyte R3 laptop.

The specs on this are:
Display: 13.8"
CPU: i7-4510U
Mem: 8GB
Storage: 1TB HDD
Weight: 1.6kg, 21mm slimline

I paid about ~$1100, maybe 1200 about 4 yrs ago and it has served me well. However, the screen is falling apart (an edge is coming away from the case).

If I repair, I guess it'd cost about $200-$300. However, I'm struggling to find a suitable replacement. Most lightweights have an SSD for this price point.

Would you have any suggestions for similar spec for that price?

Thanks all for your suggestions!

    Id go for an XPS 13 or latitude 13/14

    I picked up an insperon 13 SSD for $250 for my work bag (as they get knocked about and tend to last <12 months on average). Has held up fine for over 2 yrs now and if you dont need it for gaming I cant fault the thing. If I didnt kill them so quick Id go for the XPS
