Hi all, looking for a new laptop and we have some tricky criteria...the laptop we want may not be around yet.
13-15.x" touchscreen, better than bog-standard (and usually crap panel) 1366x768 resolution,
Haswell, for better battery life,
internal optical drive.
Preferred to have:
backlit keyboard,
VGA & HDMI, but if adapters can provide, that is acceptable,
good cooling design, especially one that doesn't get blocked easily.
Good battery life would be nice (for example, there is a Sony model that meets most of this, but offers 3.5 hours of battery life, which is not good).
I feel like we may need to wait until winter to see something like this.
(laptop needs to provide for me, the wife, being entertainment on road trips, and hold up to a toddler poking the screen, thus the mix of requirements)
