About half a year ago or so, I bough a Lenovo Twist, it came with Windows 8, and has a touch screen. Ultrabook size, but the screen spins to make the unit basically a heavy tablet. 4GB RAM, i5 CPU, and 320GB hard drive, got it around $700 U.S. shipped, I think from Staples at the time.
Not the absolute best, but for me was the best for the money, next class up in laptop added at least $300 to the price. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rankin, James R Sent: Friday, October 25, 2013 5:50 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [NTSysADM] OT-ish: Laptop I need a new laptop....anyone have any recommendations in this arena? I like fast, I like nice-looking....but I also hate spending a lot of money, maybe about 700 English pounds would be my budget? I don't really do much besides browse, watch movies and work on documents, although it might be nice to have decent battery life and maybe be able to run a CPU-intensive game like Football Manager. I prefer to run Windows, but I'm open to all options really. Just looking for some recommendations as to what type/model people find good, rather than expecting anyone to do the research for me :-) Cheers, JR Sent from my (new!)
