Please recommend notebook/ultrabook for home usage

[Henry Ng]

your good specs might differ from others.

to me a good specs does not require a GPU for my preference.
to others a class 1 GPU is necessary to be considered good specs

Which notebook u are referring to at Audio House fair that has good specs and below $1k. My good specs meant at least a I7 3630QM processor running on windows 8 with 8Gb 1600Mhz RAM. 15.6" LCD. That is all I required. Please share and recommend me.

dude.... I have an asus netbook at home running win xp home, compaq laptop with win vista home and an asus 1215b and asus ul30 both running win 7 home 64bit.

no matter what... win xp STILL boots up fastest...

I'm not sure what kinda bull your friend is trying to say...

and judging from the Audio house fair this weekend. there are win8 laptops with good specs which are sub $1k

Which brand and model are u referring to as good specs and below $1k? My good specs is at least I7 3630QM processor, 8Gb 1600Mhz RAM and 15.6" LCD. Please recommend me. I am trying to find one below $1k with such specs.

for light usage, can consider saving $ by buying from those WTS. can get for a few hundred bucks

avoid first gen i7 quadcore, those have high idle temps
2nd gen i7 quadcore is ok
if no need quadcore then go for i5

so something like i5, 14", 4gb ram, even integrated graphics card is good enuf.

I just sold away my i5 notebook windows 7 4Gb RAM so I am upgrading to at least a i7 3630QM with 8Gb 1600Mhz RAM so I am looking for new one for sure.

i notice that a number of post you used Gb instead of GB.

there is a diff between the "b"

8Gb = 8Gigabit. You sure you wanted this as memory?

I7 3630QM speed is same same as 4th generation I7 4700HQ. Same 4 cores 8 threads. I have the habit of using Gb but actually of course I meant GB.

I know. I am now waiting for ASUS A55 price (U.P. $1,199) to drop to $999 during Comex Show as this model is near EOL and new replacement model is coming very soon. I want to take up MyRepublic next year and use their teleport service to watch hulu and other channels.

Same as me. I called to ask, ASUS A45 14" LCD Challenger funan, selling $1,099. Comex show price should drop.

why you keep pushing mainly Asus lappies?

Hoshino84, you check out the following models.
Since your usage is very basic, Win 7 OS is good enough as well. You can also consider some Year 2012 models.
(My recommendations are mostly ultraportables and low-end ultrabooks)

Lenovo U300/U400/U500
Lenovo Thinkpad X100/X130
Lenovo Edge E430
Acer Aspire V3/V4/V5
Asus S400
Asus UL series
Asus Lamborghini series
MSI X340 / CX series
Dell Inspiron 14z / 15 (look at 2012 models)

Lenovo is 1 yr warranty and extended warranty is very expensive. I have one too.

 

[Henabi]

Lenovo Services - Warranty

there is a reason why certain extended warranty is worth buying... just like apple.protection plan.

dont give wrong feedback just because you need to pay a premium
