Well its that time of the year, im heading off for university. Anyway, i need a laptop and after endlessly prowling through the internet for deals and looking at hundreds of computers i need your help finding something. Here are the perameters.
the things i really want
1. please have a 1600*900 screen or 1080p
2. anything under 1" thick is good
3. good battery life
things good to have: (these things by no means a deal breaker)
1. discrete graphics
2. utrabook thin :)
3. backlit keyboard
budget....as a student, around $600-800, prefer lower
P.S i will not be heavy gaming, integrated graphics are fine, this laptop mostly for school stuff (word, light programing video calls) and...youtube. Any help will be very appreciated.
Also i didnt notice any category under which this topic fits so i just put it in general. if there is a better place please do tell as i am a noob.
It doesn't have discrete graphics which would be a deal breaker for me personally but it other than that it's good. It comes in at $700 with a 1600x900 screen, an i5, backlit keyboard etc.
1600x900 should look great on a 13.3 inch display. Honestly, I think this would be a good choice but feel free to shop around and look at any other suggestions should some come up.
No problem, I'm still looking around though. You could easily pick up a nice gaming laptop from eBay if you want the descrete GPU but that's isn't very ideal for a few reasons.
This laptop is amazing. I HIGHLY reccomend it. I've bought three, 2 for my siblings and 1 for my dad. We all work in an office and these things are fast, light, powerful, and extremely mobile. The only thing I could ask for more is a discrete graphics card. But we don't need it since it's just for the office.
