So my current Lenovo Yoga710-15ISK is finally dying and I need to replace it. Specs are as follows:
Intel core i5 6200U 2.3 GHz
8GB RAM
256 GB SSD
15.6 Full HD IPS screen
Basically just looking for something similar but a bit updated. What do you think of the options below? I'm also open to other suggestions. Would like to keep it under $500-$600 as it will really only be used for basic browsing, no gaming or heavy duty software.

When it comes to laptops in this price range, I'd either go with an Acer or Lenovo. Honestly you don't need to be overthinking this, these computers are pretty basic. Just go with whatever you like.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. But you know how it is, you buy something basic for 3-$400 and then see a sexy 6-$800 model and start to get some laptop envy/regret lol.Originally Posted by JayJ350

What's this laptop for?
The 256 SSD is far too small imo. At least pick up a minimum 500gb.
Same for Ram, 8gb doesn't cut it especially if you install something like photoshop or the like, better to go with a 16gb minimum so you'd at least have some headway to multitask too.Sig line can't be a novel
