I'm looking at all sorts of computers, and I'd really like to have something that I can do school work on anywhere. my time is really broken up, and I ave a hard time getting it done because it's also hard for me to focus. my big question then is would the helix be suitable enough hardware wise? I do really like the idea of a haswell, rather than an ivy bridge, but I figure an i7, with 8 GB of ram should be enough for some hard core multitasking... I do a lot of things at once, I'm often programming in visual basic with multiple powerpoints, word documents, and browser tabs open all at the same, time, and while I can certailny narrow that down some, I can't do so too much, because most of the work I do is between things. for example, I have to have at least one, usually 2 powerpoints open, while I'm using visual studio, and I have to have blackboard open, so I can get the powerpoints, and other files I need, and I have to have word open so I can do the programming exercises. what I would like is to be able to handle is working anywhere, but performance, battery life, and portability is a hard combo any thoughts and suggestions are welcome, thanks!
extra info: I'd be getting an i7, 8 GB of ram, a 256GB SSD (not that that really matters in this case), and I'd be getting 3g/4g service so I can use the internet in more places. my current computer is a school provided computer that I work to death it's a lenovo x131e, non intel version. it takes about 30 seconds to a minute to load a code when I run it on my current computer. I'm in a stem oriented early college high school, so this will need to support me for a while.
