The Guardian just posted an article on
the best student laptops for under £500 and it reminded me that my current laptop is struggling a bit.
My current laptop is 15.6" so I don't think I'd really want anything smaller. The 15.6" they recommend are
this HP Pavilion 15 and
this Lenovo ideapad in Midnight Blue.
Are these good recommendations for ~£500?
I don't really know much about this sort of stuff and just want to get my moneys worth.
I mainly use my current laptop for:
Photoshop
Spotify
YouTube
I do the majority of my gaming on Switch/PS4 but sometimes use my laptop for indies - I'd like to be able to play stuff like Return of the Obra Dinn for example, which my current laptop couldn't run.
I've also been interested in playing around with Blender at a very low level.
I'm not really in to the "gaming laptop" look so something sleek would be nice. I think the HP I linked looks pretty nice.
Any suggestions?
