Need a business laptop

[chen123]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently thinking about buying a laptop for business purposes.
I have a desktop at home for gaming and all, so the laptop won't need a dedicated graphics card.
I'm most likely going to be web-surfing and using office.

I'm currently looking at the Dell XPS 13 (i5-6200U/8gb/256gb pcie/FHD)
Are there any other good suggestions?

Could you post a link to the laptop you are buying and let us know what your budget is.

Is weight a factor? Is screen size a factor?

Lighter the weight the better. I'm thinking 13.3" or 15" should be okay.
No strict budget restriction. Maybe something within $1,500 USD.

I don't know what's a "business laptop" these days, they are so general-appliance. OK try not to walk into a business meeting with an Alienware, except maybe at Electronic Arts.

You like the specs, weight, size, screen, touchpad, battery run-time, warranty, service. That's it.
