(Posting this on behalf of someone else)
Ok so I'm looking to get a new laptop, and I already told my parents that it would make a good Christmas gift. I want a compact laptop because my current one (15 inches or so) is too heavy to lug around on 20 minute walks. I want a good laptop, probably between 11-12 inches. Power is necessary, and possibly even decent graphics to play some games.
I live in Canada, and I don't really have a budget. I'd prefer to keep it around $1000 CAD if possible.
The person I'm posting this for isn't knowledgeable about computer hardware. Going by what the requirements here are, this is what I'd be looking for:
Budget: Nothing in particular, but ideally not exceeding $1400 CAD. Would prefer something around $1000 CAD.
Size: Small. 11-13 inches display, and not too heavy. Nothing specific.
Display Resolution: Could probably settle for 1366x768. 1080p preferred.
Desktop replacement? No.
Battery life: Nothing particular.
Gaming capabilities: Ideally, but mainly a console gamer. Not required. If possible, somewhere around a 950M. Integrated is an option.
Use cases: General/gaming.
Storage: Probably best to get an HDD with a decent 500GB+ capacity. An SSD would be nice, but probably not possible.
Memory Size: 8GB is a must.
Brands: Don't care.
Country: Canada. If you can find somewhere that ships to Canada for a reasonable price, that could work too.
