I need a new laptop for Uni. Nothing overly pricy, but reliable and good for work. Recommend?

A good brand for school work is Dell, HP, Asus and Lenovo. If it's just for office-based tasks (no heavy gaming, video editing etc.) then go for something with the following specs:

- Intel i3 Processor (powerful enough for standard work-based environments)
- 8GB RAM (good for increased speed)
- 500GB HDD (enough storage for your Uni work)
- 15" Display (nice clear display)

A few good brands I've come across before:

- Dell Latitude E6440
- HP Elitebook 850
- Asus X555la
- Dell XPS 13 (a bit pricey but slim and easy travel).
- Macbook Air (but again, pricey) Surface Pro 4.
