    Price €400 - €700

    Must have minimum

    1.) 14" - 15.6"

    2.) I5 Intel Processor

    3.) User removable battery

    4.) Hard drive access panel

    5.) RAM access panel

    Items 3 - 5 are fast becoming hard to find.

    Maybe tell us what you want to use it for. Your requirements as they stand will be hard to fill.

    Yep, I gathered that so hence the post to see what other people might have come across :)

    As for what I want to use it for? It would be general purpose business use, definitely not for gaming in any shape or form.

    I'm looking for a laptop than can have an SSD for OS with good boot times and speed of use. A second SATA drive for on-board storage (not cloud) but most importantly, I am quite capable when it comes to laptop upgrades maintenance & repair and I simply refuse to spend a large amount of cash on anything that doesn't have relatively easy access to the main interchangeable parts. Striping the shell of a lappy is one thing provided you are careful and gentle with it but if you had to do it simply to replace a drive then it's too much hassle.

    I'd look at some of the second hand workhorse's like the IBM/Lenova/Thinkpad or Dell 6400's range instead. The only issue with that is finding one in pristine condition at the right price.
