Essentially I was set on getting a Microsoft surface (the intel variant) however I have decided that this really wouldnt suite me for university work. My current laptop is a dell latitude e6400 a 14" display with integrated GPU (terrible...) intel p8400 i think.
Cant stand the slow speeds and I think the tasks I conduct are pretty cpu intensive.
Using virtual machines, coding in visual studios, web development and finally databases. Now the important part is that I always found I was running out of workspace so it needs to be around the 15" size with a high resolution. I assume an intel chip is needed as they seem to be the higher performers at this point in time.
Ideally I want to spend as little as possible but it seems hard to find something that completely screams out amazing price and performance. I know there are alot of the A6 AMDs around and I bought my dad one so I will be trying out my software on his laptop and see how it goes but id still like something better.
Aiming to get this in the next month or two, however if theres any new chips in the pipeline that speak out significant improvements please mention them, I havent really been up to speed with the developments in the laptops.
