Laptop: Under USD800 and with a long battery life
11-24-2013, 03:37 PM
I'm currently on a 17" laptop, so 10" would be miniscule. I'd like to stay at 13 minimum if possible.

13" is the minimum for everyday. I might even recommend 14" for guys in computer heavy jobs. Still keep in mind too that a lot of the thinner laptops are only coming with 4gb of ram. That's fine now but down the road it'll slow things down. I recommend ponying up and getting something at least one upgradeable to 8gb for the long haul.

I'm getting a new laptop pretty soon so any advice would be helpful. I'm looking at the cheaper brands such as Acer and Asus, as I've been a Dell man for some time but they are a bit more expensive for no real benefits.
Looking at this:

8gb RAM and 1TB memory for under £400 ($650) seems pretty sweet.

Ended up getting refurbished Lenovo Yoga IdeaPad @ USD770.
In retrospect, would've preferred an ultrabook. It's just a tad heavy for the intl playboy.
The screen is delicate as fuck. Not realizing this, a simple pinch from me was enough to crack the screen. Thank God I have the Accidental Damage Protection. Will get it fixed when I have a desk job again.
That said, the computer runs really well. Gets a tad hot, which I dislike, but it's fast as fuck.
