I am looking for a laptop with the following criteria:

15 inch screen

Fairly high-performing CPU

1TB HDD + 128/256GB SSD

Thin and light

8+hour battery life

 

 

Does such a machine exist? Please let me know. Thanks!

 

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Yeah for about 1000$,that is a lot to ask especially for a laptop. Unless you need a portable computer, a desktop would be cheaper.

 Not for $1000. Never seen one with an HDD PLUS an SSD PLUS an 8+ hour battery life. I have yet to see a high-performance laptop with a battery life longer than 4-5 hours under MEDIUM load.

No. Not for many years more.

I have finally moved to a desktop. Also my guides are outdated as hell.

If money wasn't an issue you could use a barebones laptop and getting everything you need. It just would not be cost effective.

What about if I changed the battery life requirement to 6+ hours? Basically what I'm looking for is a thin and light laptop with a 15 inch screen.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

6 hours doing what?

 

You have yet to say what you want to do.

6 hours with light web surfing and writing documents. I will be using it for heavier stuff, but I'll be plugged in when I do.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

What if I'm willing to drop the screen to 13 inches? Any thin and light notebooks I can use for college? Just gonna be doing some programming and probably some DAW work.

Gigabyte P35 series should work. I've seen ~5 hours or more on web surfing if I remember correctly.

This is also a decent idea, however not a cheap netbook. Get a decent one with a decent keyboard. Or an ULV CPU-using laptop.

How good is the performance on the Asus UX305?
