Hi guys,
I will be moving to Canada in the next couple of months. I have been offered a spot at one of the top B Schools there. I am planning to sell my current laptop and get a more portable one with good battery life and better heat management.
My requirements:
I know this is a rather complicated requirement (aren't they all?). But pls suggest MAC or WIN and suggest something particular in that ecosystem.
Please do remember that I am eligible for a students discount(If available) and I am buying it from Canada.
Budget is: 1800-2000CAD
I will be moving to Canada in the next couple of months. I have been offered a spot at one of the top B Schools there. I am planning to sell my current laptop and get a more portable one with good battery life and better heat management.
My requirements:
- 2 kgs (Less the better)
- 15 Inch screen is ideal
- Good thermal management. My current laptop runs very hot.
- 1080 is a minimum (Will be my only entertainment source )
- Hybrid/SSD for faster OS (Not mandatory)
- 4 hours min battery
- Good processor (Haswell i5/i7). I multitask rather heavily. 20+tabs +word+multiple PDFs etc are a norm for me
- I DO NOT need a touch screen.
- Being able to run continuously for long hours every day.
- Good customer support
- To be used atleast for 3 years trouble free.
- Heavy on browsing and reading (VERY heavy)
- Lots of movies
- Even if it a MAC, I will need to run some softwares which are not available on OSX. So how smoothly does the mac run run windows? (Industry specific)
- Office/excel/PPT/PDF
- Light Photoshop and video rendering
- MIGHT game. But not a priority
- Screen
- Battery
- Performance
- Portability
- ASS
