Hey guys,
I am reasearching to buy a laptop for my fiance to replace her old(er) Packard-Bell piece. Can you please help with finding the right one?
Here are the criterias:
- larger than 13" but not 17", Full HD screen
- decent battery time 4+ hours (under normal use - films, internet)
- fairly ligthweight (doesn't need to be superlight just not like my 4.5kg rig)
- ok(ish) graphic output. either a higher end integrated card (iris pro maybe?) or dedicated graphics (keep in mind that with dedicated the battery time is much worse and I try to avoid that). It should run things like: Dota 2, Orcs must Die2, Divinity Original Sin
- hybrid hard drive or just SSD
- AC wifi
- cost: max 1000-1100 $ (can be way less of course if there are options)
Now the one I have found so far is a custom made one from XoticPC: http/www.xoticpc.com/sager-np2740-clevo-w740su-p-6201.html
SAGER NP2740 (Clevo w740SU)
14.1" FHD
i7-4770HQ
Intel® Iris Pro 5200 Graphics
8GB DDR3 1600MHz
4.20 lbs with 6-cell Battery
Can you comment on this and maybe recommend better ones that suit these criterias?
Since the new Broadwells and a bit later the Skylakes are coming out, shall I wait a bit so the prices for 4th gen CPUs get lower or even wait for these new ones? Would it worth it?
Any help is appreciated
Thanks a lot
Balint
