1080p ultrabook sub 750$

[magicn27]

Hello good people of LTT, I need your help.

 

I am quite adept at shopping for parts, and I have a great desktop PC. However, I also need a laptop for school.

 

My old one died, it was nothing fancy. I disliked it because it was thick and heavy, but my main gripe with it was its horrible 720p screen.

 

Heres what I am looking for in an ideal laptop:

 

Location: Canada

Price: < 750$ (before any taxes and shipping)

Screen: 1080p matte/glossy

CPU: i5-4xxxU

RAM: 6-8GB (could IN THE WORST CASE SCENARIO maybe possibly deal with 4GB)

Storage: any replaceable HDD (will replace it myself with a spare SSD I currently have)

Size: < 15.6in < 1.0in thick

 

I would appreciate your suggestions on laptop models.

 

If what I ask for is not possible, just let me know. I can wait for cyber monday/black friday/boxing week, because I only need this laptop for January 2015 (My next semester is an internship).

 

Thanks!

Long story short.... not possible.

Where should I lower my expectations? Nowhere and just raise the budget?

At that price, options are reduced. It's like, you might be able to get 8gb RAM and an i5, but not a 1080p screen.

 

For an extra bit of money this seems to be a really good option:

The i5 model is $30 less, but hey, I'd go with the i7.

 

Unfortunately matte screens on laptops are very rare these days.

Thanks for the suggestion! It is a model I am considering.
