I'm looking for a laptop for light school work (light web browsing up to 20 tabs, word processing, rare photoshop, etc)
It should have
- At least 8 GB of RAM, upgradable if possible
- At least 1 TB of storage, 64 GB if SSD (edit: 128 GB SSD is preferable to either)
- At least 6 hours of battery life while web browsing (edit: brightness should be visible outside without direct sunlight), with 8 hours being preferable
- 802.11n WiFi, either 2.4 GHz or both 2.4 and 5 GHz
Nice to haves are
- Dual storage (SSD + HDD)
- Preinstalled OS (Windows or Linux) with no Secure Boot
- An ODD
- Ethernet port
- GT3 graphics (Intel Iris/Intel Iris Pro)
- Screen >15" and full HD (1080p) resolution
- Should be portable
The newer the CPU is, the better. If it is not possible to find such a laptop within the budget I am willing to extend it up to 1400 AUD.
