    What desk height are you working at.

    Give us a little more as to what's important to you!

    Screen size, keyboard, portability, battery, screen resolution, 4G connectivity, etc.

    Default choice for me is always a Lenovo Thinkpad but that's just for my use case.

      Thanks for your reply OP, iam looking for 15.3", 16GB ram if possible, iam not a gamer so i dont run much graphical stuff, no 4G connectivity required, screen resolution a good one is fine, no constraints here.

      I was looking at some similar stuff: https://www.dell.com/en-au/shop/dell-laptops/inspiron-15-500…

        Seems very overpriced for very mediocre specs and build. I'd go with Ryanek's suggestion over this unless you really value Dell brand/warranty/etc.

        If it were me looking for office laptop, I can't fault my experience with Lenovo Thinkpads so I'd consider something like a Lenovo E580. Not the lightest thing but strong durable build quality with solid keyboard. Note I've never owned or used one but based on reviews.

        eg E580 for <$1k (don't forget cashrewards):

        Intel Core i5-8250U Processor (6MB Cache, up to 3.40 GHz)
        Windows 10 Home 64
        15.6" FHD IPS 1920x1080 AntiGlare
        8GB DDR4 2400MHz SODIMM
        Intel UHD Graphics 620
        256GB Solid State Drive M.2 2280 NVMe, Opal 2.0
        3 Cell Li-Polymer Battery 45WH
        RTL8822BE+BT 2x2

        I personally use an X1 Carbon for work because I valued 4G and portability; but may not be of importance to you.

      Thanks Ryan, any reviews on this brand?

        I sense op is a more 'typical' consumer who values portability and battery life rather than someone who wants/needs such a beefy spec machine. That being said if it were me I'd be very happy with those specs at that price.
