- 1080p resolution
- minimum 9 to 12 cell battery
- Primarily used for 3Ds Max, Adobe Creative Suite (lllustrator/Bridge/Indesign/Photoshop)
- Photo/video editing
- Storage capacity doesn't matter
- Planning to keep it for the next 5 years
- Must be slim, light, and portable
- Looked at Dell XPS 15, Asus Zenbooks, and Lenovo W520 Thinkpad so far. Not interested in Apple.
XPS 14z or alienware m11xr3 for graphics and portability and battery life.
