Anyway, I decided now to order the Lenovo when we are able to order it in February. Thanks for the kind advice and comments you all gave to me <3

Melon, in case of things like the product you showed there would by no means meet the criteria to offer a good environment, where all my software for the calculations I would work properly. No judgments, but it also looks like some sort of toy. Paint it pink and you have a perfectly sellable hello kitty product :P.

Why do you think that? :)
Most IT companies here in Norway starts using it because it's so small and strong at the same time, but yeah I guess lenovo is better for your kind of business
But this is definitely better than mac

Xen, no hate on macs, but it certainly is true. Check the specs, mac is only good for movie making and more like "status" pc

Microsoft claims eight hours of battery life during casual use, but our own in-house battery tests—which entail a continuous mix of scripted Office use and video playback—brought the Surface Pro 3 to its knees after 4 hours, 18 minutes. That falls short of our result with the smaller Surface Pro 2, which shut down after 4 hours, 44 minutes.


My macbook is a year old and the battery lasts for 8h - 10h+ depending on the definition of "casual use" (office use, easy 10h+; surfing and videos and shit nonstop, 8h). The same notebook running windows 7 or 8 with max energy saving settings gets rekt after half of that (if lucky) and sacrifices computing power due to stupid windows settings.

This is the large version tho

I would get a neck-lock working on that thing (or any other laptop for that matter). :deadseal:
Working on laptop monitors for prolonged times is horribly unergonomic.
Might be better if you can separate the keyboard and put the monitor in a elevated position.
