Laptop computer selection

Some use a laptop as their primary computer, so it needs quite some power.

Some use it only for traveling and connect it to their workhorse remotely, so the laptop functions merely as a console.  In this case, the screen size, weight and battery time are the major factor.

LG Gram laptops are the lightest (barely above 1 kg). 

HP 17.3" Touchscreen Laptop - AMD A9 should have plenty of power with a screen size as large as one I want. Larger sizes would have problems in fitting into a regular laptop case, but unfortunately, its resolution of 1600 x 900 and weight of 5.62lbs make it unsuitable for business travel.

Dell Inspiron 15 5000 Series has a 15.6" screen 1080p resolution, and its weight is under 5 lb making it a superb laptop for business travel. 

ASUS VivoBook S S510UN-MS52 15.6" Laptop Computer with weight of only 3.70 lbs is an excellent choice for travel.

Acer Laptop Aspire 3 A315-21-93EY AMD A9-Series A9-9420 (3.0 GHz) 8 GB Memory 1 TB HDD AMD Radeon R5 Series 15.6" Windows 10 Home 64-Bit weighs 4.8 lb, 2-cell Li-Ion (4810 mAh) Battery has received excellent reviews.  It is free of bells and whistles that useless for casual users that need laptops essentially as consoles to connect to powerful computers in offices.  It is light.
