New Laptop, what to get?

[Qubit]

Looking for some suggestions for a new laptop in the 1000-1200 range. I would be primarily using it for programming for school. Currently I have a desktop I built with decent specs I use for gaming, so the laptop would be for commodity. But yeah as I said It will be a travel laptop which I would bring to with me to class and on campus to the library and stuff. I'm looking at the razer blade stealth. But I'm also tempted with the mac book air even though I hate mac and have never learned to use one in my life. I also believe that all macs come with a swift ide, so ios development would be possible, which I don't plan on doing but it will be there if I ever need it. So shoutout some stuff, and thanks for the feedback.

Don't look for specific models. Fixate on specs (do not look at fucking graphic chips), you mostly want an ultrabook CPU (U series) so the battery life is much longer on a standard 40 - 60W laptop battery, as well as the laptop being very lightweight.

 

No point overpaying for features to be wasted, especially when the laptop will drop in price faster than new OSBot permisson updates.

 

Look for something: Cheap, lightweight and has a 'ultrabook' CPU which is apart of a newer generation.

 

How do i know? I carry a fucking Lenovo Flex 16, touchscreen, 860m, 1920x1080 and 16gb ram with a decent ultrabook cpu... It weighs a ton and I could do what I want on a tablet simply using cloud services such as Google Docs.

i'm at uni and a macbook would be really useful due to lightweight & functionality, i have a MSI 'gaming' laptop which i treat like a desktop

Get the razer blade

 

I can't say I've ever looked at razor blade because they are so overpriced. But for something as slim as that is a really good competitor to Mac on campus. 

 

@OP Get razor for sure if you don't like mac
