[QUOTE="Viking, post: 1103430, member: 812"] 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 [B]$1.197[/B] [URL="https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/lenovo-15-6-ideapad-slim-3i-core-i7-16-512gb-notebook-le83em0055#specifications"]Lenovo 15.6” IdeaPad Slim 3i Core i7 16/512GB Notebook[/URL] * Lenovo ThinkBook 16 Gen 7 16" Core Ultra 5, 125U Processor, 16GB RAM 512GB, DDR5-5600 Laptop [B]$1,299[/B] [URL]https://www.centrecom.com.au/lenovo-thinkbook-16-gen-7-16-wuxga-core-ultra-5-16gb-ram-512gb-business-laptop[/URL] 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 [/QUOTE]
