obviously it all depends on your budget, but i love my lenovo ultrabook, and you can get refurb units for a decent price
amazon/Lenovo-Thin...ac95340d838ed2 or the much newer x240 (which i'm using right now) is about twice the price. these things were £1500+ to buy new, and mine runs windows 10 pretty nicely - i use it for ~8 hours a day every day and have done for the last couple of years amazon/Lenovo-i5-4...e7b25321a23981 if i was buying new, right now i would probably look at the xioami air - pretty much the same spec as a macbook air that is several hundred pounds more expensive... amazon/Xiaomi-Air-...946e0246df8f82 (you can get cheaper if you dont mind shipping one from china yourself) hth |

We struggled to get anything 10-inches with 500gb+ storage - loads these days are 32gb & 64gb and they are useless if you need to add software (like Sage). I had a 32gb, added MS Office and it now is pointless as just tells me all the time the disk is full (even though I have a 128gb sd card in it it doesn't care.
I picked up a Lenovo something in Tesco but they've since stopped selling them - think it was end of range. Very frustrating - £200 is enough for a travel laptop but this time I had to spend £300 which is a regular laptop price for me. Very annoying.

What storage capacity would you suggest as a minimum requirement for Microsoft Office and installing something like Sage?

for a full sage and office install with windows 10, i would say a 250gb SSD is the absolute minimum you should be looking at storage-wise
my work laptop has a 120gb SSD in and i'm frequently running quite low on space. its doable, but something twice the size will give you much more wiggle room |

acer are ok. but like all brands, their range varies massively. the more you spend on a laptop, the better the build quality. low end acers feel quite cheap in most cases, but the same can be said for most makes
a £300 laptop of any brand will be significantly cheaper and not as well built to a laptop that is twice that price. if you go to macbook territory (ie over £1000) the build quality of all brands will be yet another step up from that |
