Laptops like the XPS 13?

XPS 13 is over a grand here its kinda too much for a intel graphics laptop..

 

I really want the thinness, 13" look it has, especially with the black textures etc.

 

<$1000, black, 13", at least an i5/8gb

 

Thanks

 

OP be like *buys premium business-class super slim aluminium + carbon fibre finish laptop, expects to play gta v @ 4k 60fps on it*

 

I don't think that you'll find a laptop as premium as that in a really thin package while packing a decent onboard package, but there's got to be something out there.

It's completely blown out of proportion. Also if you're the least bit worried about data gathering then you should go live in a cave a 1000Km from the nearest establishment simply because every device and every entity gathers information these days. In the current era privacy is just fallacy and nothing more.

Your not going to be getting a mobile Intel quad core for under 1000$ Australian.

Can you point me towards the best Australian laptop retailer's website.
