Hi,
I'm looking at getting a new laptop, and am wondering if there are other laptops out there that have similar touchpad functionality to Apple's offerings (gestures, swipes, pinches, whatever).
Since I've seen plenty of phones that have the pinch/spread and such gestures I figured that laptops would have them too, but I'm coming up short on my list.
I'm looking at two price ranges:
900-950 Euros (I'm in Germany), and
700 Euros
My job gets me tax back on purchases and a 10% discount from a German store called Saturn, so that would make my 'real purchasing power' slightly higher.
I was hoping in the 900-950 range for dual core (or better), solid state drive, at least 4GB ram, and nice touchpad functionality. The lower the weight, the better. 15" I suppose.
Obviously less in the 700 Euro range. Can any of you suggest laptops that would fit this budget/desired use? The use is office work, entertainment (not games, but watching movies perhaps, heavy web surfing). Etc.
Thanks!
