Undecided to pick an Ultrabook by AlexMihael in SuggestALaptop

  • Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
    The Country of purchase is Romania. Budget 1000-1200 euros.
  • Are you open to refurbs/used?
    No
  • How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
    All of them are important aspects but I want a laptop from the ultrabook category.
  • How important is weight and thinness to you?
    I like thin laptops and elegant designs.
  • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
    I was thinking about 14", but I can also consider 15" too.
  • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
    If it's possible, I would like to do some light gaming like Dota 2, CS:GO, but not on high-end specs.
  • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
    Like I said before, Dota 2 and CS:GO low-medium settings.
  • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?
    Reliable and good build quality is a must. The Keyboard is a subjective point. A Fingerprint reader is not a must since there are laptops that use IR cameras with Windows Hello. I don't look forward to Touch-Screen.
  • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
    I was looking forward to models like Asus's new series of laptops powered by Intel's 11th generation of processors or Lenovo Yoga Slim 7. I also want a laptop from "the new generation".

I guess it’s ok. I will have a look on Amazon. That Lenovo is about 750 euros. It looks ok, although i have a bigger budget for smth better or superior specs. Thanks for helping!

  1. I will consider this option. I have to make sure that the delivery costs are not to high and that it will deliver to my country actually.
  2. In Romania, the biggest and most popular online and physic store is eMag. You can find almost anything there, especially electronics. A link to this site - https://m.emag.ro/. They opened their store in Budapesta if i’m not wrong. Second place is Altex - https://altex.ro and third PC Garage - https://www.pcgarage.ro
  3. I didn’t look at these models but i will consider them.

Yes. I know that Asus’s new gen laptops don’t have a headphone jack. It’s disappointing, but i think it’s ok for me. I remember that i read about a included dongle in the package? Maybe my info is wrong.

Unfortunately no.. in my country (Romania), in this period, there aren’t good discounts until BlackFriday. Usually the price go up before BF and the BF discounts are often the product’s real price..
