i'm going to be doing quite alot of communing in the coming months and i'm looking for a portable laptop to take with me on the bus.. i don't want a tablet as i don't see the point in buying a bigger version of my phone with less functionality. I am looking at a windows laptop as i will prob end up using it for work i take home from the office.

what i am looking for is an Intel processor i3 or i5 preferably as i might require the processing power running virtual machines occasional. it won't be for gaming so i don't need GPU. integrated graphics will do.

I was looking at a 13 inch screen that has to be high resolution ie 1080p min as photoshop will require it..

i could do with 4GB of ram minimum as again Photoshop and virtual machines eats up ram at times. My current laptop has 4GB and seems to do ok.

I'll be installing an SSD into it so the hard drive needs to be removable ie uni-body will not work.

also battery life is important and lightweight is a bonus

any one have any ideas off hand
