Well, I've really confused myself now!  I've done the AI chat bot and basically I am now looking at Dell Laptops.  I had a fantastic dell previously and they appear to be upgradable.

I think I'm likely to go for a Dell.  Currently looking at theirblack friday offers with additional offers like 50% off extendable warranty.

You influenced my decision! I was going to go with an i3-based HP 14" model, but ended up buying an i5-based one, purely on the basis that it was (probably) more upgradable. At £329 it was £100 more than planned, but hopefully it will last a few years (and hopefully the battery will hold up).

I should add that Black Friday deals that "give" you 50% off if you add something else are no interest to me - that's just trying to get yet more money from you. IIRC the £329 laptop was £400 last week, so that's OK by me.

Your laptop can take up to 20gb of ram and nvme/ ssd and install windows 11 as a free upgrade on it. and if like mine when set up correctly they fly.

Thanks.  I'm not a gamer.  I do have lots of tabs open at the same time.  I currently have 16 open!  Generally, as well as almost constantly surfing, flicking through youtube video's, using the regular, microsoft products, I don't really use it for anything else.  I probably would like better internal speakers but that is realistically all I'd like to change!

I definitely don't want to cheap out and I do think Lenovo are decent.  I can't afford a MAC and my son say's I wouldn't get on with the change either!

1. Why on earth does anyone need 16 tabs open at the same time!

16 tabs is negligible, there are people that have several thousand open.

OK, I'll bite. 

What possible use case requires someone to have several thousand tabs open on a browser?

I don't know, it's not me. I do often have dozens open; it's not a problem - even on my 13 year old 8GB Windows 10 laptop which was low end when I bought it.
