My mom is in need of a new laptop for work for around 1000 (US) dollars. It must be light, sturdy, nice looking, fast, and have a nice large touchpad as thats pretty much all she uses... It doesnt by any means have to be a gaming laptop (although it would be nice if it can run some basic games every once and a while.) Im thinking about maybe the dell xps 13 or the Asus Zenbook UX303.

 

Any advice is much appreciates, Thanks Ben.

I'd splurge on that XPS 13.

What do you mean by spl- never mind. Yeah the xps 13 looks nice and can run games every now and again.

My Main PC:

CPU: i5 3570k CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper T4 Motherboard: Asus p8z77-v pro  RAM: Crucial Balistic 2x4gb  GPU: Two PNY GTX 680's in SLI Case: Some rando Antec one  PSU: Thermaltake 1000w  Display: HP Elite Display 321i 23''  Storage: Samsung 840 Evo 128gb, Seagate Barracuda 1tb

Oh, you know  :D

 

The size and price for performance is pretty solid on that XPS though. I'm a big Dell fan, naturally I want one lol

Guilty of building a PC that is more powerful than necessary... No ragrets.

How much of a performance upgrade in the more expensive dell xps model, or is it just a screen upgrade for like 600 more >.<

 

The $999.99 model will have the same performance as the $1,299.99 model. If your mom does work with editing software, she may find the top-tier model a little more appealing.
