Laptop between $1000- $1500

Hi guys,

I am after a new laptop and willing to spend between $1-1.5k. I have been keeping an eye on deals but there hasnt really been anything good recently.

I will be using the laptop for work with occasional gaming (mainly older games)

Criteria is the following
-Good battery life
-SSD
-13 or 15 inch display

Suggestions would be great.

    Look for a Dell XPS 13? There'a 20 percent off on eBay right now.

    For AU $1,401.03

    You will also get a bonus $50 voucher since it's >$200

  • Dell XPS 13 is really a niche product like the Macbook. I returned mine and got a Lenovo X1 carbon, don't regret it. Similar ball park, fan is much quiet, keyboard is much nicer. Trade off for a few looks.

  • Thanks for the reply guys. Not the biggest fan of Lenovos.

    What did you dislike about the Dell XPS13?

  • Just had a look at the dell. Looks like some are complaining about issues with the track pad and keyboard.
    I see that the ram is also non expandable too so it's a no go for me.

    Any other ideas?

  • Windows doesn't manage ultra HD very well yet.

    You could wait for a 13" Macbook Air to be discounted.

  • Thinking of going for the Asus UX303LB-C4028H

    Might wait for a special though.
