Hey guys,
I've been wanting to get a laptop for quite a few years now but have always put it off because I've never really been satisfied with what I've seen. But I'm in the mood to get one again so I'm hoping there's something out there right now =)
A heavy use for the laptop will be Photoshop, since I'm into photography. So I'm looking for power and just as importantly (maybe even more so) a great LCD screen (around 14-15")!
But I'm also looking for long battery life (Pentium M / Core Duo?) and high ortability when it comes to thickness and weight.
And lastly, I want excellent build quality. I've seen my family and friends go through way too many cheaply made laptops and it's definately left a sour taste in my mouth.
So to summarize:
1. Excellent LCD for graphics work
2. Relatively powerful (fast CPU, plenty RAM)
3. Relatively light weight (looking for under 5lb -the lighter the better! =)
4. Will last throughout the years
5. And if I may add, a good fullsize keyboard
I know it's a pretty tall order. Does anything out there fit the bill??
