Hi Everyone!
I’m completely useless at this and need as much help as I can get!
I have a pretty decent full-size work laptop however I’m sick of getting it out and plugging it in (not very good battery life) when I only need to quickly add to or edit something for work. I was therefore thinking of purchasing a small laptop (was looking at 11 inch but couldn’t seem to find anything decent in my price range??) that is light for carrying and has a good battery life. It will only be used for microsoft office and internet use. I was leaning towards a chromebook, however I do occasionally have to dabble in photoshop - which I can do on my main laptop so it isn’t a huge issue and I know it wouldn’t run very well on a cheap laptop anyway, but the fact I can’t use it at all on a chromebook put me off a bit (since you never know when you might need to even look at what someone else has done if I was on the move and only carrying my light laptop for example). Although it’s main purpose would be to load up office quickly and without faff, which I thought a chromebook might be better at than Windows?
So, I feel like I’ve stared at thousands of laptops for weeks and now can’t see the wood through the trees. I don’t want to spend much, so I had it narrowed down to these two - unless of course anyone can recommend anything better!
Thank you!
