Hi I urgently need a laptop. My requirements are:
1. Good battery life(more than 4hrs) in normal use in lower brightness. 6cell battery a must.
2. Good build quality.
3. Solely for development in Linux platform, so no fancy harware like dGPU and no AMD cpu/apu.
4. Fairly powerful. (Intel i3-xxxM or i5-xxxM processor). ULV processors will give better battery backup but I am not sure
if it will be powerful enough for my work: compilation of large C/C++ projects(which may sometimes take 2-6 hours to
complete), LaTeX, some video encoding etc. A better cpu will do the job faster but will eat more battery.
5. >= 2GB RAM.
6. Screen: no larger than 14.1 inch, better if 13.3inch.
7. HDD: 500GB is enough.
8. Very good keyboard as I shall use it mainly for programmin and development.
9. Last but not the least, it must be very reliable. By reliability I mean it must not create small but irritating problems
randomly every now and then(like excessive heat, crash, etc).
Budget: 35k INR max.
I have thought about the Lenovo ThinkPad series. Specially the E431. Also the B490 model, which is of B series.
I am confused. Plz suggest.
