Requirements:

1. 16GB+ RAM

2. 512GB+ SSD

3. Touchscreen

4. 14"+ FHD screen

5. < or ~2KG ideally

6. New with 1year or more warranty

Looking for a family member but have been out of touch with pricing in recent times. Was hoping to find something under $1300 (ish) but looks like prices are edging more towards the $2K+ mark these days. Any recommendations around the $1500ish mark perhaps? If not able to find something locally then I'll look to import from overseas.

Thanks.

Opting for a touchscreen won't leave you many options at that price, e.g. https://classic.pricespy.co.nz/category.php?m=s342781097&o=produkt_pris_inkmoms#prodlista

Not having fingerprints on your display makes things more reasonable: https://classic.pricespy.co.nz/category.php?m=s342781103&o=produkt_pris_inkmoms

Ex-lease tends to get you good bang for the buck in terms of build quality.

Thanks. Yea agree regarding touchscreen. Not a fan or user of touchscreen on laptops myself but this is for a family member.

Yeap pricing seems higher than pre-covid times for 2/3 generations old CPU etc. I guess it is what it is. Thanks.
