What laptop do you use?

My faithful Sony VAIO has died and they no longer make laptops! ☹️

I need a reasonably priced replacement.

Any suggestions? I use 365 so store on the cloud.
I like keyboards that don't have number pads.

I don't need much really just reliable and nice to use and not clunky and heavy.

I have a Lenovo yoga which I love. I also have a Lenovo for work which has a terrible screen but otherwise runs well. The yoga is pricey, but I would definitely recommend you look at their ranges.

@DonnaDarko thanks!

What is it that you like about it?

They both have really good keyboards.

The yoga has a touchscreen and bends all the way back, which is really useful for reading documents or if my toddler wants to do drawing on paint! The screen is really good. It's powerful enough to play Sims 4 and Cities:Skylines. The audio quality is also fantastic.

My work laptop , I think it's an ideapad and it has a good-size screen but it is a very basic laptop so I would suggest going for the next one up.

I was going to comment saying Lenovo Yoga too. I have the 7 series, my DP has the 9 series. Both are excellent, but I can't really see what his does better than mine (though mine is newer, so they're quite similar spec even though mine is the middle range and his is top).

The keyboard is lovely to write on - I've done a lot of writing using it, and I don't get as bad hand cramps as I have using other laptops. I agree with Donna that the screen bending back makes proofreading much easier. The screen quality is really good too.

Acre swift 3, having previously spent much more in on Asus 303UA. They're both fine. I miss the touchscreen, but it isn't worth the extra £400.

I had a Lenovo and have just changed to a Macbook Air. It's lovely.
