Choosing a mobile laptop

Question

laptops

Good day.
Faced with the fact that I need a laptop that I can carry with me every day.
Will be needed for "study", video editing (a little) and sometimes playing on a trip.
Wishlist:
1) Screen - 13.3
It seems to me optimal portability/convenience.
If someone used 11.6 laptops, it would be nice to hear their opinion.
2) Performance
Well, everything is clear here, in i3 (minimum) / i5 / i7.
Will the Intel HD4000 graphics card (which is now in many ultrabooks) be enough? Mostly for video editors and sometimes games (you never know).
3) Battery
I would like at least 6-7 hours in 50% brightness mode, web surfing with Wi-Fi.
4) Weight
Because I will carry with me very often, weight is important, and should ideally be ~ 1.5kg. + - gram 200.
5) Thickness
Well, again, this is about mobility, no more than 2cm ~

I'm looking at the MacBook Air 13, I'm especially pleased with its battery and good appearance (aluminum case, for example), but I'm not entirely sure about MacOS, because. to. never used it.
What do you advise?

Answer 1

Plus for Air. I have a 11.6-inch model, it has become a constant companion on business trips for me, I don’t remember the last time I dragged my Lenovo E120 (although it has an i3, a 256GB SSD and 6 GB of memory) and even more so a monstrous Lenovo T520 (12GB of memory , i7, SSD+HDD). I just took the E120 for trips / business trips, and then they gave me Air. Now he never leaves my backpack (of course, he just gets lost somewhere in the depths).

Answer 2

I used Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 - I recommend it with confidence. The ability to transform into a tablet will be very useful for surfing and playing games on a trip (and just lying on the couch).
Suits you in every way.

Answer 3

Get Air, you won't regret it.
Most importantly, Apple technology depreciates very slowly over time. In a year or two you will be able to sell not for a penny.

Answer 4

The Macbook Air is an almost perfect choice under the given conditions. With MacOS X, it’s enough just to make friends, and if it doesn’t work out, you can always put Windu as a second system.

Answer 5

hd4000 is enough for a lot. But for games - only very weak / old ones. Subjectively, it is in the region of gf7xxx in terms of playfulness.
Despite the fact that it copes with photoshop / video editors with a bang.
If you still leave thoughts about games (well, or you are also a fan of the old, but interesting), then look towards any ultrabooks. X1 Carbon, Samsung latest and etc. Another TP x220 / x230 will do.
Macbook is also suitable - offtopic is quite easy to install on it.
And so they have long become the same, all some =) Since the time of my asus u35jc, it has become useless to choose by hardware - +\- the same in transfers of the same price category.

Answer 6

Maybe ASUS UX32VD / UX31A will do, although the battery in the first one lasts only 5 hours.

Answer 7

Sony VAIO SV-Z1311Z9R/X
13.1 LED Full HD (1920x1080) VAIO Display Premium, Intel Core i7-3612QM (up to 3.1 GHz with Turbo Boost), 8 GB (DDR3, 1600 MHz), 256 GB SSD (can be RAID 2x256), Intel® HD 4000 + AMD Radeon HD 7670M 1 GB in docking station, weight: 1185 g (!!!).
From user experience: during normal use (almost without video, but always connected in 3G / GPRS, not in economy mode), the battery lasts for 8-9 hours (!). Of the huge pluses: there is a slot for a SIM card, that is, a 3G modem is built-in; the screen is great; very light; the included docking station greatly complements the capabilities (connectors, CD / BD, extra battery, media), Thunderbolt.
Minus: the price is from 3k green to 5k, depending on the configuration.
