Hi all,

So basically I was in need of a new laptop (though I wanted to wait for the AMD Raven Ridge APUs), but now my 7 yo laptop decided to die on me so I have no other option...

Can anyone help me find a laptop with the following specs?:

CPU: Intel i5 or i7 (U version for longer battery life)
GPU: Intel HD graphics or some dedicated GPU (would highly prefer Pascal/Polaris architecture if so)
RAM: 8GB (or 4, but I'd have to upgrade later)
Screen: 14inch antireflective (higher than 1366x768 would be nice)
Storage: Can be HDD, though a 256GB SSD would be prefered
Decent battery life

Thanks in advance
 


I'm not using any specific retailer, just wanted to know what options there are...
I'm from Portugal, if that makes a difference.
 


Ok, so physical stores in Portugal I remember a few:
Fnac
Worten
Pcdiga
Globaldata
Chip7
Then there are some minor ones, like Mbit, Assismatica, etc

I also don't mind buying from an online store, like Amazon... (But how do the warranties work is this case?)

 


Thanks for the quick reply!
Thing is, I was really looking for a U version CPU and a 14" for more battery life and portability... (I don't care for a CD reader and don't want a NumPad).

I guess there wouldn't be anything cheaper than https://www.pcdiga.com/computadores-portateis/portatil-lenovo-thinkpad-e470-14 but with a dedicated gpu as well (and maybe not a Full HD display)?

Thanks!
(Btw, I heard that Acer wasn't very reliable, is this still true?)
 
Get the one I recommended, trust me, double the CPU performance and a 950M for the same price?
You can't turn that down.
Battery life should still be a good 5 hours, and there's always power saving mode.
