Best non gaming laptop?

[Deleted User] · 2012-09-22 13:42:34

I'm looking for recommendations for a laptop solely for browsing and media. I would like a 17inch screen so basically a desktop replacement. I don't play games at all so can live without a high end graphics card. All the recommended DTRs I've seen are gaming machines unfortunately. Can someone recommend me something…

You know I can't find a single review of the A702 anywhere!

This review covers the XMG A502 (the 15" variant) in depth. I doubt there's much difference.

Pros:

Full HD display
Good sound system
Great battery capacity

Cons:
Low power CPU (slower than the regular Core i7 at 45W max TDP)
only 1 HDD bay
only 1 memory slot
quite pricey
