Hello my [H]ard friends.
I am looking to purchase an ultrabook for back to school. This will be my first laptop and I will be using it for school and for work. I also will be traveling a lot to see my long distance GF, so I definitely want something that has an SSD for better battery life + better managing of any bumps on the trip. I also would greatly prefer something with some sort of dedicated graphics. I won't be doing much gaming on this laptop (I have my desktop for that) but if I want to fire up an old game (TF2, Quake Live, CS:Go, etc) I would prefer that it could play it, at least at a decent frame rate.
I am definitely having a difficult time trying to find something with dedicated graphics. This Lenovo: http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/s-series/s431/#features looks like it would fit the bill, but I can't find any reviews on it at all.
Does anyone know of any good ultrabooks with dedicated graphics for around ~$1000? (Haswell processor greatly preferred, but it looks like these parts are difficult to find).
Thank you!
