I am looking for a new laptop computer and I do not know what one to go with, so I'd thought I'd ask here. I want: A convertible Laptop, one of thous lap tops with the flip around screen that you can use as a tablet. A Windows 7 OS Good amount of ram 64 bit 13-15 Inch screen I Want To: Animate in Flash Use Photoshop Edit video Play some games like: Mineraft, Portal, Gary's Mod, Skyrim, Sims Attach a USB capture card for game play commentaries My budget for this is large, so they can be expensive. I was thinking This But I'm unsure. |

Lenovo is a pretty decent brand. However, for my money, I'd consider a MacBook Air, especially for creative programs. For the same money you can get a high-end 13" MacBook Air with a 256GB SSD, 12 hour battery and a boxed copy of Windows 7. (assuming you absolutely need to run Windows) Plus the MacBook Air's just got a refresh, with PCIe-SSDs, Haswell ULV i5/i7 and the 12 hour batteries. The MacBook Air is also 1lb lighter and has a higher resolution display. The only downside is that the MacBook Air doesn't have a tablet functionality, but the SSD is going to be way waaaay faster than the conventional HDD in the Lenovo. |

If you really want power get an Alienware, Dell XPS or an HP Envy-15. I've personally owned a Dell XPS-14 and now have an HP Envy-17. I have used the Envy-17 for video editing and it dose as good a job as the computers we have at the TV station i work at. |

The Envy and XPS each weigh about 6.3 lbs. Lenovo has options at 4lbs, and Apple at 3lbs. |
