I'm looking to buy a new laptop in a couple of months as my current 8 year old 17'" Acer (i7 6700HQ) laptop is starting to show its age. The left side hinge has snapped off & the battery is draining quicker now.
My budget is $1,400
After carefully considering all brands with the specs i want., and the price I am willing to spend, I finally chose Lenovo.
I want a Intel chip as I feel more comfortable with it, I have never had a AMD chip in any of my past PC/Laptops.
I am looking at 2 laptops :
* Lenovo 15.6” IdeaPad Slim 3i Core i7 16/512GB (13th Gen 10-Core Intel Core i7-13620H, 64GB Ram -
LPDDR5-4800 $1.197
Lenovo 15.6” IdeaPad Slim 3i Core i7 16/512GB Notebook
* Lenovo ThinkBook 16 Gen 7 16" Core Ultra 5, 125U Processor, 16GB RAM 512GB, DDR5-5600 Laptop $1,299

I am interested in these 2 chips: The 13th Gen 10-Core Intel Core i7-13620H, vs The Gen 7 16" Core Ultra 5.
The i7 chp is more powerfull, but the new Ultra 5 chip has a much better battery life which I like.
Do you think that the new Ultra 5 chip is worth buying? Being a newer chip, I would like to keep up with current technology.
Any thoughts on which of those 2 chips I should go for?
I was also comparing Lenovo IdeaPad Vs ThinkBook, & found that the ThinkBook is a better choice, in terms of a sturdier construction. (from youtube reviews).
I use my laptop for:
- General web surfing (email, facebook etc)
- Youtube
- Online Shopping (ebay & other specific online stores)
- Online Banking
I am NOT a gamer
PS I want either a 15.6.or a 16 inch screen which has 16GB DDR5 RAM
Thanks
