Hi

What should i look for when looking for a laptop for work.

Ram,CPU?

Because when i work sometimes the window freeze because alot of resource use up and slow down after 1 or 2 hour of usage. Sometimes even loading for up to 1 minute.

I would use it to edit some images, to upload online, not to the extent where i would like super design, would most likely use photoscape or powerpoint to edit pictures.

If you're not doing any intensive work just get an i5 with 8gb ram and an ssd. The ssd will make the device feel quick and responsive.

The acer swift 3 is a good buy (value for money). It's 1.6k for the i5 8265 model and only 1.3 for the i5 8250. Not exactly worth it to get the newer one since both are quad core devices anyway (if you're really on a budget).

Unless you're doing intensive stuff, you won't need more than 8gb of ram. Just make sure you don't have 30 tabs open in Chrome and you shouldn't feel any sluggishness.

You should look for one with NBD on-site warranty:s13:. The last thing you want when your laptop breaks and you can't do work is having to go queue at a ulu service centre and having to wait a week for them to repair your laptop. Dell's Vostro or Lenovo E series come to mind as budget choices.
