New School Laptop

Go to solution Solved by don_svetlio,

Any Suggestions on the brand?

Lenovo Y50 or Y700

Dell Inspiron 7559

MSI GE62/72

Depends. If only work go for the XPS or a Dell Latitude or HP Elitebook or any ThinkPad. The Blade is not worth the money.

Depends on what you use it for, if only for microsoft office and google drive and light surfing just get a budget chromebook then build a pc with the money saved so you can game at home

I intend to use it Microsoft office and some light to medium video/photo editing and i already have a gaming desktop at home

If you want to render and edit videos look for a quad-core CPU. The "U" chip in the Blade is useless and will be as slow as a desktop i3. Go for a 4720HQ or 6700HQ
