What's up guys? Looks like I haven't been on here in over a year but I'm sure some of you remember me. Anyways I'm going to college in a couple of months (I got in to Notre Dame!) and I need to pick out a laptop. I figured where better to ask than here.
Things I want:
I'd like to have an SSD (depending on the cost)
High resolution screen (the 1080p ones are really nice)
Backlit keyboard
8 gigs of RAM
Quad Core
HDMI output
BluRay player/burner
Good battery life
Things I need (dealbreakers):
At least 4 gigs of RAM
Dual Core min 2 GHz
Greater than 14" screen / Smaller than 17"
Dual layer DVD burner
Good video card
Portability (small and lightweight enough)
Windows 7 Professional
The two laptops I've been looking at most so far are
- HP Envy 15
- Sony Vaio F Series
The Envy is nice and perfect size, but lacks an integrated optical drive. It also is reported to have terrible battery life and to get excessively hot. It's also a little too expensive with all the options I want. I'd like to keep the cost under $2,000.
The Vaio F Series is also really nice, but might be a little too big. The SSD is an additional $500 and sets it out of my price range. Otherwise it looks great.
I'm very open to other suggestions as well, but only quality brands - I want a computer that's going to last.
