Recommendations for a work laptop

I have never bought my own computer before but now need to buy my own to use for freelance work projects.

I need it to be fast, have a good amount of memory / storage
Reliable and enduring
Not too big and heavy - mostly used at home, but need to carry it about too.
Quality screen
It will not be used for gaming.
Basic office / work type functions
The one I currently use has a touchscreen / tablet / app function as well as pc - this is handy sometimes
A backlit keyboard is an advantage
Prepared to spend up to £700 or £800 if necessary.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Bump!

Or is there a better board for this?

'Products' seemed all about prams.

My work laptop is an HP ProBook, I have the G6 430 with 13" screen which is light and easily portable but there's a 15" version if you prefer a larger screen. A quick look on HP website gives a good few ProBook options in your price range.

Thanks DubiousGoals, I will have a look.

I have a HP x360 and it runs all the graphics programmes I need it too plus has touch pad and stylus
Battery is good and it's light

It my first pc laptop in a while as I'm used to Apple but I've been quite impressed.

My work laptop is a Surface pro. I'd recommend.
