Laptop recommendation
Had a HP laptop for last few years but not happy especially with battery performance.
Main use for laptop is to essentially browse and watch videos and stream on netflix etc.
Need a 17 inch screen and preferably one with an ethernet port.
Any suggestions and also where to buy from.
Budget £500

I'd look at Lenovo, I have a fairly basic laptop from them that I use for study (word processing) internet browsing and *cough* playing The Sims 4.0

The batteries do wear out with age, normally it isn't too difficult to replace them.

Quite a lot of laptops where the battery is a user-changeable part, the battery does not require "opening the back" as such, i.e. actually undoing screws to gain access to the insides. The battery is often a "pop-out" item with a slider or button to unlock.sultan123 said:I cant open back
The main exception is the "net-book" and similar devices where the battery is just another component soldered in as part of the motherboard.
