im sorry if this is not the right place, I understand this is a PC based forum, and i didnt see a section that looked like it would suit this.
anyways yes im looking for a laptop (before you ask, I already have a Desktop, which i built)
My price range is $700 or less
what im looking for is a laptop 13"-15". 1080p. as good of a processor as i can get. this is mostly for school work with light gaming, but im in school for Computer Science so as i progress I will be doing more and more coding, and a good processor would definitely speed things up. preferably quad core, or at least dual core with hyperthreading.
8GB+ ram. wouldnt mind 12-16gb as its nice to have extra if i need to run VMs, which i do occasionally. but 8GB minimum. HD doesnt matter as id most likely replace it with an SSD. OS, obviously Id prefer Win7 x64 Pro, however I need to learn Win8 anyways so im fine with that. however If its going to have Win8, id like the screen to be a touch screen.
lastly id like it be able to play light games. i dont plan on "gaming" on this laptop, however in some down time at school, or when i bring it to my gfs house, itd be nice to be able to play some games on it. while i play a little of everything on my desktop, the laptop would be limited as i wouldnt plan on putting my Steam Folder on it. Id mostly be playing Guild Wars 2 and maybe StarCraft and Diablo 3. games that arent on Steam. not looking for anything spectacular either. from what little research i did, Intel Integrated Graphics 4400 would run it enough, though I wouldnt complain if it had a dedicated GPU either.
looking around Ive really only found 1 laptop that seems to meet this criteria. its a refurbished laptop off Newegg (forgot to mention im in the US), so its price meets my limit. its a cosmetic refurbish and im fine with that. its got Win 8.1, touchscreen 1080p. 8GB RAM, Dual Core i7 with hyper threading, and a dedicated GPU that can run what id want medium-high well enough. Here the link below
ASUS Laptop
I also like that its ASUS. ive used their products, Ive had a ROG laptop from them, still going to this day (gave to my girlfriend a while back) and yea. I personally have no reason not to like them
anyways, how does that laptop look? something im not seeing? is there a better laptop out there that meets my needs? i would appreciate any and all help!
Thank you very much!!
