Hi,
I'm looking to get a laptop that will use me on work and during work related travel.
I will buy in the US in the coming month, and I'm aiming for a budget of $1000-$1200.
Usage:
Critical parameters for me:
I do not require an OS pre-installed.
I know that this is a big list with many info. I appreciate any help you may give me or ideas regarding relevant laptops.
Thanks a lot!
I'm looking to get a laptop that will use me on work and during work related travel.
I will buy in the US in the coming month, and I'm aiming for a budget of $1000-$1200.
Usage:
Office work - tons of Excel, lots of Word, Power-Point. Some statistical and data processing software.
I do lots of multitasking - many browser tabs, many applications at once. A high resolution (beyond 1366*768) seems necessary.
Casual use of Matlab and Adobe Lightroom.
Games - the lowest priority, but of this machine is able to run shooters and strategy games in the next couple of years, I'll be happy. Again, this is just an add-on, not a requirement...
Critical parameters for me:
RAM - at least 8GB, preferably out of the box.
Weight - not heavy (roughly 3-5 lb?). I will carry it all day long with me, and also during trips.
Battery - see previous point. Something that will last 6-8 hours of normal every day usage.
Keyboard - something comfortable, without bizarre keys' locations and missing END\HOME\F#.
Screen - around 14". No need for touch screen.
Reliability - I'm a techie, but I don't want to open up the laptop every other month.
SSD - a welcomed addition
I do not require an OS pre-installed.

Thanks a lot!
