A long story but I have been asked to buy a laptop for a gift. I am an Apple user and have no insight to Windows machines vs MacBook Pro. The intended recipient is a casual user but doesn't like Macs. No heavy processing requirements just email, surfing, occasional photos etc. He currently uses a clapped out Thinkpad that is well past its sell by date.
My thought is no larger than a 13" screen, and I thought one of those that folds to form a laptop and even has a stylus would be of interest. 128GB of storage would be fine, I have little idea about the processor. It would be good to have USB and video outlets as a minimum, USB C not a requirement more a nice to have.
Initial thoughts were for a Surface, but the price looks high, I have also seen Lenovo machines but have no idea about the price/spec. Price? No more than £500, but do tell me if I am shooting for the stars at this level.
I would welcome any comments/suggestions as to type/model/spec/brand and where to source - Curry's/John Lewis/ somewhere else on the high street or online? There is no urgency on this, not needed for a couple of months.
Thanks in advance
