Hallo, I am looking for a new laptop for school work(no gaming or gfx work, mostly CPU heavy work). What i am looking for would be something like:

CPU: Intel fanboy, sorry, so a ivy(HD4000) i5 would be nice ;)

RAM: 8Gb.

Budget: Hard to set a number in usd, since i dont buy from there, but my guess would be around 1100$.

Size and screen resolution: I think a 15,6" is to huge, and i would like something like 13.5 to 15", and regarding resolution, the bigger the better :)

Battery life: Not that important to me, anything above 3 hours of web browsing will do.

Storage: 120Gb of SSD, i would like to be able to add a HDD(250 Gb) as well to the laptop, maybe in the optical bay?

Optical drive: none, don't need that *** ;)

Brands: Acer i would like to avoid as i feel like they are poorly build, but i might be wrong. Mostly i would just like a solid build laptop.

Country: Denmark

I was looking at the ThinkPad L430, for my case(4Gb, 500Gd HDD version) and i would add another 4Gb of RAM, and replace the harddrive with an sdd :)

Sorry for my bad gramma

Mostly running matlab simulations in simulink, even tho i supports more the one core, some simulations can't run in parallel, since the next "step" dependent on previous results... so i am not sure the added price of an i7 is worth it?
