Hello
Can anyone help recommend me a laptop? I'm looking for a laptop that meets this description.
I currently live in the US, so I'd like something that can be used there.
Under 1000 US$.
Windows 10
I'd like it to be portable, less than 5 lbs, and have a screen size of 15 in or less.
I would hope for it to last 5+ years.
It has a 1080p or higher resolution.
I would like to be able to play games. Playing on higher settings would be nice but not necessary. I'm more interesting in good performance, which would be 30fps+ for me. The most intensive games I'm interested in now are probably Total War (Rome 2, Attila) and Cities: Skylines.
I'd like to be able to do other things, like visiting websites, watching videos, MS word + Excel and other non-intensive work and everyday tasks without the laptop getting too hot or noisy and with decent battery life (5+hours ideally).
If I cannot find a good balance between the last two points I'd lean towards the second.
Anyway, I did some research and this laptop from amazon seems like the best I could come up with:
ASUS K501UW-AB78 15.6-inch Full-HD Gaming Laptop (Intel Core i7, GTX 960M, 8GB DDR4, 512GB SSD) Glacier Grey
Does that look good for what I'm looking for? My biggest concern here is that I couldn't find anything official on the battery life or video ram (not sure how important that is). Can anyone think of something better? I would also be comfortable with a Toshiba, just because they've worked very well for me in the past, though I know quality isn't consistent in any brand so I don't want to restrict myself to that. Any help would be appreciated.
