Family Laptop, R4k-R5K (Office use); 8GB RAM, i5, 128GB+ HDD, Windows License, 14 to 16 inches screen,

[Jikiness]

Item Wanted: A laptop for basic family use and a bit office use e.g. Pastel Accounting, browsing, Office Suite
Packaging Essential: Not necessarily, as long as it can be transported safely, original packaging items would be nice (charger etc)
Desired Age: 2 -3 years
Location: Cape Town
Willing to accept a shipped item: Yes, I've had good experiences in the past
Ballpark/Budget Amount: 3-6K (there's some flex)

An included Windows license would be stellar. Realistically, no preference towards any brand, the family doesn't care. Literally just for office use, emails, etc, more USB slots the better because we'll plug in a printer, keyboard, mouse.

[15 Jan 2020] Edit: It seems like the requirements are being overlooked in the title; 8GB RAM, i5, 128GB+ HDD, Windows License

Thanks for the response. Do you know the replacement cost off the top of your head by chance? I've never had to replace a battery to be honest

I've never had to do it either! A quick Google shows what looks to be a similar battery on Takealot for R750. I'll have to take a look at the battery this evening and do some more research into the cost.

My gut says the specs would start to feel a bit sluggish too quickly, but thanks!

Not really to be fair. Put another 4gb ram stick in there and an SSD. You are good to go for another 3 years. But it's all up to you Been running my 2nd Gen i5 since 2012. Still smooth as silk for office use.

Yes, R750 from TakeAlot for a replacement battery. Happy to drop my price to R4000.
