Does this laptop exist?

[Cancer12]

Hi Aters
I'm looking for a 13-15" laptop with a quadcore i7 something, at least 8GB of ram, preferably a SSD, long lasting battery life and hopefully something light as well. Also, it needs to be comfortable to type on. Does anyone have a recommendation?

Probably would be a macbook

Macbook Air can be ordered with an i7, 8gb ram and up to 512 ssd.

depends how much battery life, comfort, and weight is tolerable for you. Macbook Pro fits the bill easily, but $ and serviceability may limit you.

and just buy a SSD would cost a whole lot cheaper than a Macbook

ASUS's Zenbook's, HP Envy 15/Spectre 14, Samsung's new slim laptops.

I believe that ultra book i7 (ulv) processors are dual core. You need a full size laptop to get quad core.

 

[Durvelle27]

nope there quad cores

Of the laptops mentioned in this thread:

The macbook air, zenbook prime, 13" macbook pro, Samsung Series 9, and HP Spectre 14 use dual core I7s.

The Envy 15, Macbook Pro 15", and Lenove IdeaPad Z570 use quad core I7s.

Caveat emptor.

Some good recommendations here. Some of you are right, though, what I really want is a macbook pro! I'd love to find an equivalent cheaper Windows laptop.

Sony VAIO SVS1511:

Intel Core i7-3612QM, NVIDIA GeForce GT640M LE, 15.5" 1920x1080 matte display, 0.95" thin, 4.4 pounds, backlit keyboard.

$1200, which I think is a steal considering the specs. It comes with 6GB of DDR3 but you can upgrade it to 8GB easily through the bottom access panel.

Lenovo x230 starts under 3.5 pounds, good battery's life, i7 available, up to 16gb. the old x220 had a great keyboarf but the x230 uses a different keyboard, dunno if better or worse(could probably get the x220 cheap somewhere)

with 9cell and slice battery's(additional weight), up to 15 hours

though last I checked, the i7variant is only dual core

A dual-core i7 is not a "real" i7, IMO. Pretty much the only difference to the i5 is slightly higher clock speed and that's it. With a real i7 you have double the number of cores and threads at your disposal.
