Hi guys
The time has come, and now I'm in need of a mobile computer. Since I have to buy it anyway, I'd like to use it also as my 2nd PC while at home (so I've sold old one when I had a good offer).
I need to use it with some programs like advanced compilers (Visual Studio 2013), CAD family ones, etc. (I'm an IT student).
So, what I want:
-powerful CPU unit (mid-end i7 ?) - because some "heavy" programs will be in use and I don't like to look at the loading screens and slowly filling up progressbars any second more than necessary.
-integrated GPU (intel HD 4600 or better ?) (I have gaming PC at home, and propably things I'm gonna do will be more focused on CPU than graphics processor). Also, battery life is kind of important to me, and as far as I know external GPU's are killing batteries in mobile devices.
-capacious battery, as I said^
-8 GB RAM (@1600 CL9-9-9-24 ?)
-no hard disks or fast 90-120 GB SSD and one free 2,5" slot (or 2 free 2,5" slots)
-15" - 18" 1080p mat screen (hate glare ones, and 1080p cause at home I'll be connecting it to external display.
-at least one HDMI / DVI out^
-no dvd-rom (waste of space)
-gigabit LAN card would be nice, cause sometimes I'm in need to share files in home network
-solid case and keyboard
-no OS
-unlocked BIOS
-warranty for separate parts (no seals, MB acces, etc)
-would be nice if it wouldn't be hot under load (I mean case temperatures)
1000 euro is absolutely deadline, I'm rather gonna spend a bit less since I want just a good fast computer (from business class ?) without disks and OS, instead of ultra-efficient-gaming-ultrabook or something like that.
Sorry for language, it's not my primary
