Hello everyone, I am looking for a new laptop and want to know what you guys have experience with. I am looking for fairly high powered laptop, but not quit gaming caliber. I will be installing some form of Linux on it and will be doing some video editing, as well as coding and general hacking. The specs should include:
13.3 to 14 inch range.
at least an i5 4th gen or i7
at least 6GB of ram preferably 8GB
backlight keyboard
usb 3.0
bluetooth
HDMI
possibly VGA? not a deal breaker
hard drive not a big deal, probably going to replace with SSD later
light weight/thin
MAX budget $1000
Also I am curious to know what laptops Darren and Shannon use on the show. Thanks for any help!
