polycrac
Rising Star
Been a while since I've been on the forum but would appreciate some advice. Looking for a work laptop for my wife, no real gaming and mostly just office apps. She does some online teaching etc. too and her work laptop is a bit crappy and slow, especially when she's trying to do lots at once. It will usually sit at home but occasionally be used for travel (once travel is allowed again) and playing netflix. She wants it to be light and battery life isn't a major issue.
I'm not sure if I need all the RAM, or if the storage is the best split. Honestly, it is so very far from what I'd buy for myself, I have to keep repeating to myself "she doesn't game!"
