Looking for a good, lightweight laptop.
Won't be buying for at least a month.
£1000 ($1400) budget (absolute maximum, would prefer less)
Requirements:
- No bigger than standard 15.6", prefer smaller
- 1080p screen - higher would be nice but seems unlikely
- 2.5kg (5.5lbs) maximum, prefer less - I like to carry my laptop everywhere with me.
- Average GPU - will only be playing basic games like Minecraft.
- HDD space doesn't matter, will be putting an SSD in it.
- Optical drive preferable only so I can swap it out for a HDD bay.
- One or more USB3 ports
Someone on here already pointed to the Sony Vaio S Series, which looks perfect (though I am waiting for them to up it to Ivy Bridge). Just want to be sure there's no other good options out there. The spec I'm looking at from the Sony S is £730 ($1200) but I'm happy to go a bit higher.
