I'm an editor and looking to get a lighter and more efficient laptop.
I currently have a large screened--maybe 18 or 20inches? (and heavy) Acer laptop. It was great for me when I was in college and creating powerpoints and what not, but now all I really use it for is photo editing and editing articles/blogs/ebooks.
I would like to get something that is light weight, and with a smaller screen but not a tiny one. I need to be able to use microsoft word for one of the blogs I edit for as their main platform uses uploads from ms word.
I have had the Macbook pro recommended to me, and while I do have an iphone and and ipad, I simply can't afford to pay a grand for a laptop. I do plan to keep my current acer for bills, photo and music storing and other uses. It is simply too large and heavy to lug around and edit when I need to travel.
