eeeallan @shawcable.net	Which laptop should I get??? I'm looking for a less than 14" laptop with 3rg gen intel cpu that has a NICE SCREEN (important). I want to be able to watch full HD movies on it and preferably able to edit photos (photoshop/lightroom) or another question, can the nvidia hd4000 at least watch full hd movies without lag? (I've been looking everywhere for the answer!!!) The laptop I have in mind right now is the Sony S 13.3" with GT640M LE. However, I heard that its screen is really bad. My price range would be under $1400 Thanks!

Under 1400 bucks you can step up to an I-7 and GTX675 GPU

eeeallan @shawcable.net	reply to eeeallan Thank you for the replies so far guys! I forgot to mention, I also want my laptop to be light, so... I'd say it has to be under 4bl because I will be bringing it to university everyday And do you guys know if the HD 4000 is good enough to at least watch gull HD movies without lag?

pnjunction Teksavvy Extreme Premium join:2008-01-24 Toronto, ON kudos:1	Intel video has been good enough to play HD movies for several generations. My HTPC has a CPU with HD 2000 and it's plenty to play videos. My 2-year old laptop has the even older 1st-gen Intel HD and can play 1080p no problem. The HD 4000 is even enough to play most games at medium/low settings and 1366x768 resolution. (»www.anandtech.com/show/5771/the-···review/9) In that same review they mention that it can transcode from 1080p to an Ipad format in 15x real time, so just playing real time is no sweat at all.

The Nvidea Geforce 610M pushes 1080p via HDMI. The screen is 1366x768 but isn't bad. I paid about $600, swapped in 8GB of Ram, and replaced the HD with a 256SSD and it flies. Better specs and all in all still a lot cheaper than the 13.3 Macbook Pro. -- So in 2012 we have a choice. You may select someone who can't keep his promises or someone who will compromise his every position if it will get him elected. I'm voting for Snoopy!

Forhad join:2012-10-03 Toronto, ON	reply to eeeallan I think 13-inch MacBook Air would be a good choice. It has new Intel CPUs, better battery life, and an improved 720p Webcam and finally adds USB 3.0 ports. It costs about $1200.
