Although perhaps not deemed Office laptops, why have you not considered the new Dell Haswell Inspirons eg Inspiron 15 7000, Haswell XPS 15, or even Precision 4800 ?
Thank you for the recap. Did you already schedule the reviews for the newest HP ZBooks and Elitebooks?
This is a nice review!!
I want advice to buy a laptop for 3D CAD work(ex.Unigraphics NX, Pro E, Catia etc). For personal use. I am confused with the model selection. My budget is below 1000 USD and I am located in Malaysia. As I have checked with a few of my friends they suggested Intel i5 4th Gen(2.6-3.0 GHz), 4GB RAM, 1GB Graphic card, 15" Display as a reasonable specification. I am inclined toward Lenovo / Dell / Asus for the above configuration but just confused about selecting a specific model. I need some expert suggestion so that I will not regret after buying one.
Thanks in advance.
