I need to decide on a new laptop for work, i have a budget of £600 inc vat. I also have access to a student email account for discount where available. My tech knowledge is limited, so far ive found 4 laptops within budget, any advice / suggestions / alternatives would be welcome.

I would like full hd, 13-14" screen size & SSD


Lenovo Thinkpad E470 with 8gb ram & 256gb ssd added fits in my budget with student discount:

For £600? Perhaps 2nd hand.

I have the ThinkPad E460. It is built to a budget (look and feel) compared to the X series I use for work, but otherwise ticks all boxes.

I got the Asus UX360UA for £599.99 from amazon. Got an almost 4k screen, with touch and tablet mode.

I'm not sure if I like it, but it is almost perfect. Don't think the 4k screen is worth it. The fan is also quite noisy, but I think it's just a problem with my one. Which is why it's going back for a new one. If I get it back and the fan noise disappears then it's a really good laptop. Think I've been just unlucky.
