Hello all,
I am about to buy a new laptop, and i have a really hard time figuring out which one to get.
The main needs for it:
Primary role - Programming / web development
Secondary role - Video editting
I was hoping to get something around 700 - 1100 dollars but i am also willing to spend a little more to get the perfect machine.
I need a laptop that "feels" premium and has a high build quality. None of that wobbly-plastic that breaks after 3 months usage.
What i also like is something new and innovative. I like to try out new products that tries to be something more, so i get a new experience and not a plain old laptop. This is not a requirement, but it could be something nice to have,
I have tried the Surface pro 4, but the keyboard wasn't that great for long hours of programming, but the main drawback was that i couldn't use it in the couch because it couldn't stand on my lap properly.
i have considered getting ASUS ZenBook Flip UX360CA
The main reasons is that i think the flip-cover is pretty cool, and would work great for flipping it over and using it in the couch to surf the web and read PDF's. My main concern, however, is that it only comes with the Intel Core M3. I think it would be okay for programming, but might not be good enough for video editing.
My video editing needs are secondary, but they are still there. I would use it to edit some gameplay video footage for my youtube channel, but it is a hobby project and nothing professional. So i wouldn't mind the experience being a little slower than when i edit on my desktop PC.
And just to get this out of the way - Dell is a no-go. I simply won't go there. Don't ask me why, but i just won't
I hope you are able to help me decide on a new laptop for my usages. A good battery life is also a requirement, for what else should i use a laptop for if not using it un-hooked
Thanks everyone.
