Want to Buy a 15.6” Laptop - Budget $1k

I want to buy a 15.6” Laptop for home. My budget is up to $1,000.

The only main requirements I have is it should be 15.6” and a bit faster machine. I don’t want a gaming laptop but I don’t want a slower one as well. I prefer SSD ones as they are a bit faster. I will use it to listen to music, watch videos and surf internet (just basic stuff).

Can you please suggest any suitable options?

Thank you.

The DELL deal has finished. Can someone please help by providing few other options? Thank you.

    ASUS Viobook
    10th Gen i5 processor, 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD. USB 3.1 and USB C. $899

    Or

    MSI Modern
    Adds FHD IPS screen, USB 3.2, but lighter and less bulk at 1.6kg. $999 on sale from $1158

    Or

    Dell Inspiron
    Adds 11th Gen i7 processor with Iris XE graphics (which actually aren’t terrible like older integrated graphics were). Goes back up in weight to 1.8kg. $799 on sale from $1549.

    Or

    Dell Inspiron
    Adds 11th Gen H processor (newer and faster than 11th Gen above), 16GB RAM, Thunderbolt 4, slight weight reduction as it’s the newer Inspiron so back to 1.65kg or so. $1099 on sale from $1999.

    Personally I’d just pick the dell, they will do the job for what you’ve said. $100 budget stretch is probably wise as you’re getting a big improvement to future proofing with newest CPU, TB4 and a bit more RAM (however 8GB is more than enough for what you want to do). Just uninstall all their bloatware or do a fresh install if you know how to (not difficult). I have a Dell XPS and it came with heaps of their software for managing stuff which windows already does.

    • Wow. You know a lot about laptops. Thank you very much. This is highly appreciated.

      I literally gave you four options on the other post. The reason nobody else commented is because there isn't much more to say. You want a good, basic laptop for the price, pick one of those and be done with it.

      https://deals.dell.com/en-au/productdetail/9jjx

      Buy this, put in LOVEKEANU at checkout, $1154, shop through cashrewards, save an additional 3% = $1123 total. $24 more than the ebay deal.

      For the love of god, please don't post this same question tomorrow or mods gon smack you.

      • I wanted Dell ones which you mentioned but deal ended. Thank you heaps anyway for your comments.

        • The deal isnt much more, it's $24 for the same spec'd laptop and if you haven't used cashrewards just ffind a referal link on here and it will give you another $10 on sign up to make it a $14 difference.

  • I mentioned as well why I am re posting so mods won’t smack me. They have added both forums together as I expected anyway.
