Convenient productive laptop?

Question

laptops

I'm trying to pick up a laptop. Interested in the best user experience: "eye candy", usability, portability/strength. Usage: 80% work (putty, browsers), 20% leisure (movies, old toys, surfing). In terms of performance - to fly.
Ie:
- FullHD display, very desirable matte. I don’t chase the accuracy of colors, the most important thing is that the eyes get tired as little as possible. Good viewing angles.
- comfortable keyboard / touchpad
- metal case, no problems with overheating
TTX:
- screen 13-15 inches, better closer to 13
- weight up to 1.6 kg
- CPU core i5 / i7
- Memory from 8GB
- SSD from 256GB
- battery life from 5 hours
What I dug up:
1) Macbook Pro 13" with retina
Cons:
- glossy screen
- I don't want to retrain on MacOS. I don't want vendor lock. I don't want to pay extra for every sneeze.
- some programs / games require windows (it is clear that you can get by with virtual machines / dual boot, but this is an extra hemorrhoids)
2) Samsung series 9 NP900X4C-A03US (which has a new screen)
Cons:
- actually looked at the 13 "model, but its memory is limited to 4GB
- in reviews of the old model they spit that there is a matrix TN. The new ones seem to be PLS, but it’s not clear what it really is, maybe just a “marketing ploy”
- again, in the reviews of the old model there are complaints about the work of Wi-Fi.
Interested in personal experience with these models, or some alternatives.
Once again, the most important thing is comfort. Eyes, hands, brain. The budget is flexible, I will choose according to the combination of characteristics.

Answer 1

Gathered leaders together, accrued conditional parrots for each advantage. It turned out some kind of matrix. To the heap, he included the last Samsung laptop in it, but he is not a competitor, because. SSD is limited to 128Gb and 4Gb memory.

Model	Price	Permission	Screen	Matrix	Diagonal	The weight	parrots
Asus Zenbook UX32VD	1600	FHD*	Matte *	IPS*	13.3	1.47	3
Macbook Pro 13"	1700	Retina**	Glossy	IPS*	thirteen	1.62	3
Lenovo X1 Carbon	1600	HD+	Matte *	TN	fourteen	1.45	one
Samsung NP900X4C-A03US (series 9 15")	1800	HD+	Matte *	TN	fifteen	1.62	one
Samsung NP900X3E-A02US (series 9 13") - Honorable Mention	1400	FHD*	Matte *	pls*	13.3	1.2	0

Bottom line:
The leader is Zenbook, thanks to the possibility of an upgrade.
When Samsung releases 15" with FullHD PLS, it will be the perfect laptop.

Answer 2

so what's complicated, buy a macbook and put windu as the only axis.

Answer 3

HD display

FullHD on 13 inches in Windows - all fonts and buttons will be sooo small, PPC how inconvenient. Windows can't adjust DPI. You can set the font size to 150% there, but this will not work in all programs. 1600 * 900 is still at least somehow acceptable (although already too small).

very desirable matte

Matte screen = crystal effect. All screens are initially glossy, matte ones are those on which one more layer is glued.
Since I started to answer: look at Lenovo ultrabooks - Carbon, Yoga.

Answer 4

The same search last summer led me to the ASUS ZENBOOK UX32VD. I inserted 8 gigabytes of RAM (+2 gigabytes are soldered on the board), changed my native hard drive to ssd and everything became as it should be.

Answer 5

Long chose from similar requirements. At first I wanted Sony Vayo SVS13A3V9R, but refused, because. the image is small and there are no separate PageUp/PageDn/Home/End buttons. As a result, I just bought Samsung 900X4C-A07US and now I'm happy as an elephant. It differs from A03US only in the pre-installed OS. But Win8 on laptops without a touchscreen is a perversion, so I immediately nailed it and installed Win7 Pro.
Pros:
- matte screen with a good margin of brightness;
- HD + resolution at 15 "- the optimal ratio for my taste, and FullHD on small screens is a rip-off;
- normal keyboard: separate PageUp/PageDn/Home/End and Ctrl buttons in their place;
- fast (Win7 performance index: CPU = 7.1, RAM = 7.5, Graphics = 6.5, SSD = 7.9);
- the battery really lasts a long time: 6-7 hours of work in the internet, installation of programs, etc.;
- compact and lightweight.
Cons:
- TN matrix with its shortcomings: color distortion when changing the viewing angle, small glare at the edges. However, its advantages compared to PLS include lower energy consumption. 15 "models come only with TN.
- non-standard Ethernet and VGA connectors. There is an Ethernet adapter in the kit; VGA - no. There were no
problems with Wi-Fi.
I bought it in Moscow for 52,500 rubles.
