Hello OzBargain, I am in need for the expert advice from the tech-Wizards here.

I need a new Laptop ideally light weight 13-14'' for work (Physiotherapy Business)
Has to run - word, Excel etc
Have excellent picture quality but isn't too expensive. I mostly use it at work to teach patients about their injuries (thus the good picture quality)
I'm constantly running from medical clinic to medical clinic so ideally if it could be charged by a USB-C. I could double up charging my Phone and my laptop though out the day without having to take two chargers
It also needs to be fairly durable

Anyone got any recommendations?

Ideally under $1100-$1200

Thanks

    I don't think any iPhone has the capacity to charge a laptop. Unless you want a laptop with a USB-C port so you can charge your iPhone off it?

    Never knew a phone could charge another device.

        I think people are confused by the way it is phrased. It sounds like you want to charge the laptop with your phone.

        ideally if it could be charged by a USB-C i could double up charging it with my Phone with it throughout the day without having to take two chargers

        You need to be careful with what you write as you wrote that the laptop could be charged from the iphone using the USBC cable.

    Budget?

      look im happy to pay for quality but ideally id like it to be under 1200 but if there is a really good deal for more id be open to it

      it is tax deductable because it is purely for work purposes i already have a laptop for game - which has 'terrible' battery life and is fairly heavy to lug around for work purposes

    Macbook Pro? They have pretty good display.

    Deal expired, but you can hopefully find something similar.
