    Hi all, I was hoping someone might be able to make some laptop recommendations (or even give me an idea of what I should be looking out for). I will actually be looking for 2 laptops in the next few months. I see there are "back to school/college" offers at the moment, so wasn't sure if I should be looking now, or wait a while.


    Laptop 1 -

    Budget: €750

    Intended Use: Will be used by the teenager, will be used for schoolwork, internet, and also for playing Roblox (frequently) and Minecraft (occasionally). He plays no other games (at the moment) and I think Roblox has fairly minimal requirements, but I wasn't sure whether he'd need a dedicated graphics card or if that's overkill.

    Mobility: Can't imagine he'll be moving it any further than from the desk to the bed! Looking for 15.6 inch screen though, not 14.

    Warranty: ? standard

    OS: Windows


    Laptop 2 - 

    Budget: €750

    Intended Use: Microsoft Office, internet, Zoom, occasional photo editing and very light video editing, no gaming

    Mobility: Again, will be mainly used at home. 15.6 inch screen again

    Warranty: standard

    OS: Windows


    I did start looking online, but as I said, not entirely sure whether I should be looking for dedicated graphics, or how much ram I'd need, and there's such a range of prices that I wasn't sure which end of the price range to be looking at. Can't post links to them here because I don't have enough posts.
