So, I am looking for a new laptop for school. I originally had a Surface Pro 3, planning on using the stylus and OneNote to take notes. However, for some odd reason, writing on the tablet instead of paper basically prevents me from retaining any information. Go figure. So, I am returning my Surface and looking for a laptop that is thin and powerful. I was looking at a ThinkPad T440s or maybe a thin 15.6 inch gaming laptop. These are my preferences:
-i5 or better
-8gb of ram (4gb upgradeable is fine)
-FHD screen MINIMUM (Preferably IPS, like zenbook or something like the Ativ Book 9 Plus 3200x1800 display)
-Fairly thin, like 1.5inches or less. A bit more is okay, but trying to keep it portable.
-Decent battery, capable of at least 5 hours preferably
-Dedicated graphics are optional but wanted
If you have any suggestions for a specific ultrabook or portable gaming laptop for around 1200, please let me know. So far my top contenders are the Samsung Ativ Book 9 Plus and the ThinkPad t440s. Thanks!!
