Hello! I was going to replace my desktops with a powerful laptop but I'm going to wait on that for a couple of years. For now, I need an ultrabook under $1000. I would like a 250gb+ ssd but I guess that might not be an option for some laptops. Purpose of this laptop will be a ton of office work. A good keyboard is greatly appreciated. I will be getting a mouse to go along with it. It will also have to keep up with Illustrator and Photoshop but don't need to excel at it. So far I have found 3 options:

Why not get the XPS13 9550 6560U last gen one? They go for like 1k for 512gb with the Iris Pro graphics.

but it doesn't trade graphics...it has the 6560U aka Skylake Iris Pro with 512gb of storage, 16gb of ram AND cheaper. 

 

also covered by dell warranty until the end of this year. 

oh. In the Item specifics portion it says this but I assume its a typo?

nah, don't look at those. look at the specs that are posted by the seller in the thing way below. and then check the parts number (hardest but most reliable way).

Just talked to my boss (it's a work laptop so he has to authorize it) and he refuses to buy off ebay even after I show him the 100% satisfaction score and such. Oh well, I'll just get the 8gb one off Amazon.

 

Just found the same thing I think on Amazon so Itll pass. Could you check it to make sure it's what I think it is?
