Hi guys.
I currently have another thread up and running titled "Is my Laptop dead?" it is going to be sent away for repair via the Insurance company but regardless of whether it can be fixed or not I think I will sell it. It is nearly 3 years old now, so probably time for an upgrade.
My budget is $1500, but could stretch to $1600 if there was a feature that was worth the extra $100. Also, I would like to buy from a "Main retailer" such as NL, HN etc as I think it will be easier to deal with them rather than places like PBTech. Just my own personal opinion.
My must have features are..
15.6" Screen - I wouldn't mind bigger, but definitely nothing smaller.
19020x1080 screen resolution - Not budging on this.
Whatever I buy, it will be my daily driver, so would be on for quite a bit of the day + Night. I would use it for watching videos/media such as Youtube/Fanpass/Movies, music, general browsing, video editing. So some good speakers would be cool, but I know you aren't going to get anything amazing inside a laptop.
I don't really use my laptop for gaming, I have a PS4, so I don't think I would need a great graphics card?
I am having a bit of trouble cutting down on my choices. I think I am heading towards the first one listed below, seems like a great price for what you can get (Can actually get it for $100 less because TWS has it for $1500). However I have always liked the look of Toshiba laptops, they always look solid + sturdy IMO.

However that 256GB is a worry to me.
There is a couple of Toshibas that JB Hifi has for $1500-$1600, both with Quad Core Processors also.
Thanks for the help...
