Anyone seen any good deals lately for a cheap and good laptop for under $700? Preferably 15", it'll just be used for word processing, internet and email use. No gaming absolutely.
Best Laptop for under $700?

Thank you very much, I think we might have struck a winner here.
15inch - Acer Aspire 5 15" i5-1135G7 $698 + Bonus $100 HN Gift card
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/70388114inch - Huawei MateBook D14, $584.22. CPU is 1 generation older, but arguably better value than the Acer Aspire.

The downside is that the battery life won't be amazing (4.5 hours if you're lucky) and Windows 11 is not officially supported on it.
Thank you very much. I think a new laptop with a (more or less) current gen CPU might be a better bet. Thanks for that Acer recommendation! Awesome price!
Acer generally have decent prices on getting the screen replaced, if damaged, compared to other Suppliers (EG Apple & HP)
Yo soupiejr! After looking at a few models yesterday afternoon in The Good Guys and JB Hi-Fi, my wife and I noticed a few OK models for around that price. You won't get beyond 8GB RAM and a 256GB SSD most likely, but that's probably fair for this price point. This Asus Vivobook looks potentially decent, though I think I preferred the Lenovo keyboards overall. https://www.thegoodguys.com.au/asus-vivobook-156-inches-i5-w…
