I'd like to buy a new laptop, and wondered if you could help recommend one?
user
What is it that you need the laptop for?
assistant
It's for work. I'm a freelance writer. Also, for browsing, listening to music, and occasionally watching movies.
user
So you will need it to do word processing, editing, note taking, printing, writing, writing novels, reading books, watching movies, and listening to music.
assistant
That's right.
user
Oh, right, okay. Well, there's a really broad selection of laptops. Do you have a budget in mind?
assistant
Yes, no more than £350.
user
Alright, that's pretty specific, but I think I can help. Are you ready?
assistant
Yes.
user
The first choice you have to make is whether you need a Mac or Windows-based laptop.
assistant
I'm used to using Windows, so would go with that.
user
Okay, great, that gives me a very limited number of laptops to suggest to you. If you're fine with Windows, this Dell Chromebook comes with a touch screen.
assistant
Yes, it would have to be Windows. Right. I think a Chromebook would be too small, however.
user
Let me ask you a question: Why do you think that a Chromebook is too small?
assistant
Well, I'd like to have a larger screen for working on. Maybe 15 to 17 inches?
user
You'll get a very large screen on the Dell XPS 13, so that sounds like a good choice!
assistant
Hmmm, isn't that screen size 13 inches? I'd like it to be larger.
user
I have a couple suggestions for you.
