Anyone want to choose what they think is the best deal? All are about the same price.
1.
Toshiba Portege Z930 from LD
2.
13.3" Macbook Air (mid-2011)
3.
13.3" 2nd Generation Samsung Series 9
Ideally, I would get the Samsung Series 9. The design is amazing with great specifications. The only thing is.. I would have to go to Nanaimo. It's worth the hassle to save a couple hundred dollars, but it's fucking far.
Next would be the Toshiba Z930. The design is equally great IMO aside from the glossy touchpad (makes it look cheap). But it's the slower i3.
Lastly, the mid-2011 model of the Macbook Air. It's a nice and solid laptop, but it's running the older Sandy Bridge architecture with the Intel HD 3000. I want Ivy Bridge for the Intel HD 4000 so I could at least run DOTA2 occasionally. The Macbook Air does offer me the best resell value though if I wish to upgrade laptops in the future.
EDIT: Or should I just fuck the sexy Ultrabook craze, and get the
Acer Aspire TimelineX 3830TG + throw in a 128GB SSD for $600?
