I'm on the market for a new touch screen laptop as my current laptop is struggling.
I'm open to buying new or refurbished. I'm looking for:
16gb ram, 512ssd, 12th or 13th gen processor (open to an 11th gen processor if there is a good argument for it). I will use it mainly at home so I'm not too concerned about battery life or portability.
I will be using it mainly for emails, word docs, browsing, netflix, etc. Possibly some light photo editing from time to time, but nothing crazy. I value the touch screen feature and have a pretty strong preference for it.
The best I have found so far is the Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5 for $959 with the current sale.
