Ok, fawks. This one is simple. Looking for a budget replacement for my HP Pavilion DV6-1359WM, I stumbled upon a few candidates:
1. Asus X502CA/R512CA (2117U+HD4000 ) $385
2. Lenovo G50-70 (3558U 1.7 + HD4400) $390
3. HP 250 G2 (N3510 2.0 X4 + HD4000) 400$
HP is quad and energy efficient, lenovo is haswell and asus has a superb simplistic build and elegant design (have one of those). Although, lenovo is haswell, I doubt that the advantage of a new architecture will be noticeable on a budget series. Which makes ergonomics and design a first priority.
