Hey guys, well I have the classic PC predicament. Should I buy now or wait...
I'm looking to buy a new laptop for my third year in uni next year and since I'm studying architecture I expect to be using a lot of AutoCAD and Photoshop next year (along with some other programs on the side such as InDesign and Illustrator for presentations).
What I'm looking for in a laptop is:
-Under £900, the lower the better.
-Be reasonably powerful and be capable of light gaming (If it can play modern games at low settings I'm happy).
-Be well built (my friend has an MSI that was absolutely fantastic spec wise but the lid has seriously fallen apart after 2 years so I really wanna avoid plastic and go for something sturdy)
-Be reasonably portable (basically as long as it's not a 5kg monster is fine)
So I saw this deal for an Acer Aspire Ethos 5942G for £750:

That looks extremely tempting and it's the best price I've seen by a country mile. The question is should I wait for AMD and their new Fusion products to come out before making my decision? The trouble with waiting I find is that the products could take months to get to market so a wait of a few weeks on paper could drag on forever and by then an even newer product is announced (and about to be 'released' XD).
I guess I'm just looking for some suggestions for suitable laptops and what you guys think I should do! Please feel free to suggest anything from ultra-portables to 18" monsters if there's a reason why it might be suitable because I'm really keeping my mind open at this stage and I want a good laptop that will last me a few years!
