I'm shopping for someone else. Not a whole lot of prerequisites except for for the following:
1) Needs to be light because of lap use which means...
2) Needs to dispense heat somewhat decently/not make a lot of heat
3) Decent battery life..a given, I think.
4) Well under $1k USD
5) Optical drive isn't a must
Based on the needs I thought a ~13 inch i3 notebook would fit. Here's my list of current considerations, but I would like more input:
1) Acer Aspire TimelineX - 3.97 lbs - $530
2) ASUS U31 Series U31JG-A1 - 3.74 lbs - $700 ...a bit more pricey but includes 2 years warrenty / 1 year accidental coverage.
What else should I consider?
