Hello everyone,
I'm a Electrical Engineering student and I'm about to get my first job, but I need a new laptop for it. My old Asus N53SM 15.6" is getting old and slow (more then 3 years with her). I'm looking for a new laptop for office, AutoCAD, Matlab, Simulink, some light gaming, listening to music and watching movies. This is what I'm looking for:
-Lightweight (The 6 pounds, 2.72 Kg, of my actual laptop is killing my back on the long walks I have to do)
-Powerful (to handle all the programs mentioned before with ease)
-Medium size (I don't want a laptop bigger than 15.6")
-Durable (I want a Laptop that last, I have almost 3 years with this one and I know I can spend another year, but I really need a change)
-That fit my budget (I only have US$ 800, If i convince my parents to lend me money I would get another US$ 800 for a total of US$ 1600, but I really don't want to spend more than US$ 1200)
P.S: I've been looking at some laptops like
