I am looking for a new laptop for my sister. Her budget is 650€. What laptop is the best overall? Macbooks are excluded, as she doesn’t like them. The OS is not important, I can install the OS myself. It shouldn’t be a gaming laptop and it also should have a long battery life. No ARM or RISC-V laptops please. Build quality should be decent.
Thanks in advance.
edit: specific requirements
- Display size: 13 to 15 inches
- Display resolution: +1920x1080px
- Aspect ratio: 16:9
- Thickness: Slim
- Screen color accuracy is not important
- Screen should be anti glare
- RAM: +8GB SODIMM DDR5
- Storage: +512GB SSD
- Touchscreen: preferred
- Foldable screen: preferred
- Upgradeability: RAM and the SSD should be upgradeable
- Keyboard: QWERTZ, DE-AT
- GPU performance does not matter, would be only useful for video hardware acceleration
- CPU performance does matter


Can you share more specs about which do you care, such as screen quality, memory amount, CPU/GPU max productivity, size of the device itself, etc? And also: in which country are you so that it will be possible to find model available in your place?
I edited the post recently, check it out. I live in austria
OK, thanks. Then, not sure if this store is available for you, but here is a model that covers as maximum of your requirements as was possible for me to find:

Hope it helps at least a little.
