I haven't needed a new computer in 5 years, but my Dell laptop is lacking in preformance now for what I need it to do. Basically, its not a laptop anymore since the screen has died and the battery life is awful to boot. So here it sits on ym desk with a monitor hooked up to it.
I need a new laptop that has battery life, durability, processing speed to complie and run large programs in Java, C, C++, and that can run Starfraft 2 with no Lag. It must be a 14inch or less screen.
I havn't kept up to date with the lastest processors or graphics cards so I am having an hard time understanging the processing speed of i3, i5 and i7 processors.
The Mac is the one I'm leanign towards most because of its battery life, durability, GarageBand, processing since I don't understand the other laptops processing speed much. However, I don't think the graphics card run SC2 that well :S:: What would you reccmmoned, what can you tell me about processors and such? Laptops I'm interested in:
