Yo!
I need a new laptop, my current one from 2003 still works, but the computer ignorant I am struggles too much to get it to work properly... friends helped me to keep it running for a bit using Tiny XP, Linux Puppy, all kind of cool tricks, but there's alway something that doesn't work. I need something new and up to date so I can just get on with my average PC user life...
I have a limited budget (circa £700-800). I'm told I ABSOLUTELY need a 4th gen Haswell processor. In that price range, only very few options, I could find only one actually... A MSI. Which looks shit and plasticky. Looks are a little bit important for me, in case I have to do presentations with it, but mainly because I will live with that thing... Basically, in terms of looks and friendly design, I really like the Lenovo Yoga, but the specs may be too short, if I need to use a bit of photoshop, and if I ever try to learn Revit with their free trial version...
Any ideas would be welcome... Thanks!
EDIT... And yes of course, the best advice is to wait for more computers to be available with Haswell, but that it really annoying... A Thinkpad (I love the old school look of the thinkpad) with it has been anounced over 2 month ago in the US, but no clue when it will be available yet... I have called Lenovo and they just don't know. I'm ready to purchase, waiting is annoying...
