Thinking about buying a Computer
Hello fellow Crackberryians
I am planing on buying a new laptop or pc by the end of this year and thought I would go to you for advice
Although this has nothing to do with phones or mobile OS (this is the off topic lounge) I thought I would give it a go
I'm looking for a computer with the following things
Windows 8 pro 64bit
Touchscreen (at least 720p)
At least a core i5 Intel processor
4 gigs of ram
500 gigs of optical hard drive or at least 125 gigs of solid state drive
At least 5hr battery life
Has to be a ultrabook or have a really good reason not to be
Has to have a physical keyboard or option to add one
Screen lager than 10"
have high quality build to it and be very sturdy (it doesn't have to be mil-spec but does need to be sturdy) no cheap plastic
And under 2000$ price point
IT HAS TO BE BLACK lol
I have been looking around and i like some of the thinkpads that Lenovo makes and I also like the microsoft surface pro 2. If anyone has used these your input would be much appreciated :)
If you have any recommendations please sound off :)
So just for an update on what I have looked up. I am deciding between these ultrabooks
1. The Surface Pro 2. With 256gb SSD and 8gb of ram with the touch cover 2
2. The Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga with 256gb SSD and 8gb of ram with the Full HD screen with stylus input and NFC and the core I5 Haswell processor running at 2.6ghz (the Surface pro 2 has the same chip). I might upgrade to the i7 running at 3.0ghz depending on the the price though
Both of these ultrabooks have almost the exact same internals so it's almost a tie. The differences are as follows
Surface. Thinkpad.
Core -i5 2.6ghz vs i7 3.00ghz for a couple 100$ more
No stylus silo vs stylus storage
Not a full keyboard vs full keyboard and trackpad
2lbs 6oz (with key board) vs 3.5lbs
10.6" 1080p screen vs 12.5" 1080p screen
soft touch windows key vs hard touch key
.55" thick with keyboard vs .75" thick
Mini display port vs mini HDMI
1 usb 3.0 vs 2 usb 3.0
micro SD card reader vs 4in1 Card reader
No NFC vs NFC
2 720p cameras vs 1 720p camera
Also I'll be using them both with a dock (they both have good docks) at home with a 24" monitor and full keyboard so I won't mind having to having the touch keyboard on the surface because I'll be doing all my main typing on the bluetooth keyboard or the full key board at home and same thing with the thinkpad
Please let me know what you think :)
