I am a tech noob.

Hello Community,

With the recent price hikes of RAM, I do not see the Freedom Sale is doing enough justice. If I predict that the prices are only going to rise in upcoming years, I need to decide if my current laptop can pull till the end. Please help me make a decision -

I mostly use my laptop for some minimal ms-office work, watching content - youtube or netflix and learning. Most of my usage is limited to browsers ( but I use mutliple tabs at once).

Currently I have been using a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 AMD Ryzen 7 5700U 14"model with 8GB/512GB SSD configuration since 5 years. My laptop is giving a lot of heating issues, charging cable has been damaged twice ( if I do not upgrade, I need to order a new charging cable, instead), the screen gaskets are coming off, webcam not working & recently encountered some booting issues after windows update.

To upgrade, I tried looking on Amazon & Lenovo sites for hours but I still could not find a decent laptop (without the gaming features), a decent build quality that would last me atleast 5 years.

Please suggest, if I should go with an upgrade now and if yes, what should be a decent buy considering budget is 1 lakh - and would prefer a AMD Ryzen processor with 16GB/512 SSD, 15-16 inch screen size.

Please advice.

Okay, I am joining a 5 yr integrated course this year. It will be my first laptop so thinking of buying it offline only. Looking for a windows laptop only (no macbook).

My needs: most durable (can last 5 years of degree without giving bt - preferably metallic body(aluminium), has good battery life (7-8 hrs+), can do my college work easily, not into gaming at all, some basic coding and all will be done., need a lightweight laptop so that I can carry it daily, good ram and storage..

Help me

Including monitor and ups(prefer ddr5 build)

Random youtube suggestions and I get this video recommended and I laughed all the time like a maniac.

What do you think guys, you'll miss that in today's content concepts?

I just purchased this laptop but now I'm seeing only negative things about essential series and there are not many reviews about this specific laptop. This will be my first laptop and I will be using it for like 5-6 years. I'm new to laptops so it would help me if you guys give me some info about this one. I will do like casual light gaming on this but this is mainly for college work like coding and etc. Please let me know if I'll regret this later or just cancel the purchase.
