Hey, looking for suggestions for a laptop for my wife. She loves her 13" Macbook Air from work but wants to find something similar in the PC family for home. Important: thin, light, great battery life, nice display, and a touch-pad that works well, doesn't move when you don't want it to, and "isn't annoying". She is really big on the touchpad thing - its her biggest annoyance on her current old Dell (aside from it being incredibly slow). Any suggestions?
1. What is your budget? $700-1200
2. What is the size of the notebook that you are considering? 13"
3. What screen resolution do you want? 1600 x 900 or higher - higher the better
4. Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop? portable
5. How much battery life do you need? would like 6+ hours
6. Do you want to play games with your laptop? If so then please list the games that you want to with the settings that you want for these games. (Low,Medium or High)? No
7. What other tasks do you want to do with your laptop? (Photo/Video editing, Etc.) Web Surfing, Office, Music, Movie Viewing. General usage on the couch, etc.
8. How much storage (Hard Drive capacity) do you need? 250GB +
9. If you are considering specific sites to buy from, please post their links. Not really yet
10. How long do you want to keep your laptop? Ideally 5+ years
11. What kind of Optical drive do you need? DVD ROM/Writer,Bluray ROM/Writer,Etc ? Not really necessary
12. Please tell us about the brands that you prefer to buy from them and the brands that you don't like and explain the reasons. I currently have a few year old Acer that I think is great. Had a lot of issues with an old Dell Inspiron from 5+ years ago so I am a bit skeptical abut the new Dell's but the Dell XPS seems like it could fit what she wants.
13. What country do you live in? USA
Thanks!
