Laptop under $1000

[jonachm]

Hey! I am in the market for a new laptop.

This is what I want: 

• 13-14" screen (15" in a small form factor would be ok as well)
• at least 8GB of RAM
• 6 hours + battery
• 256GB SSD
• decent design
• lightweight

I will mainly use the machine for Video Editing (1080p) and Office/Webbrowsing/Netflix.

 

(The ideal machine would be a XPS 15 but it is too espensive...)

But the color accuracy on this one is really bad, so not good for grading..

I looked into the xps 13 but for the money I think something like the Lenovo Yoga 710 would be better. Though the xps is way more beautiful...

the problem with laptops under 1000$, I know this because I just bought mine, is that you either get:
a nice looking and feeling laptop with mediocre specs OR

a powerful editing machine that is probably made out of plastic since hardware was the main priority. 

Atleast with most of the laptops I've looked up

The Dell Inspiron 13 5000 2-in-1 (5378) since it has a 1080p IPS touch panel, 16GB DDR4 Ram, backlit keyboard, 256GB SSD and the fake i7, dual core with HT for 850€ so yeah
