Intended use: Work, a LOT of Skype calls, Run GIS software if possible (but maybe not 100% essential), MS office, emails, connect to remote networks. My broadband is snailpace if that makes a difference. (PITA with remote meetings all the time)

Mobility: Have done a lot of travel in past, would prefer 13 inch I think, and then plug into large screen at home. Prefer a lighter machine. (Current is Lenovo Thinkpad Ultrabook, which I have to give back.)

Warranty: Think Id prefer to wing it.

What Operating System do you use? Most used to Windows.

Appreciate any help. Got good advice here when I bought my laptop for home use 5 years ago.
