Help me find a good notebook

First, I won't buy it soon. Just looking for one to have ideia about what notebook to choose. So, being launched until end of 2013 isn't problem for me.
So, I want:
-Processor: Intel Core i5 or i7 (Ivy Bridge, if possible).
RAM: 6 to 8 Gb
HD: + or - 500 Gb, or a SSD with a big capacity.
Screen: 14 to 16 inches, maybe FullHD.
Keyboard: Not needed, but numeric keyboard is a good. A must is retro-iluminated keyboard. Maybe controls for music (Play/Pause, Backward (forgot the word!!!), Next and volume control.
Graphics Card: No need for the best, only something that can play games quite nice, as playing won't be the main use.
Weight: The less, the better.
Size: The thinest as possible.
Connectivity: 1 HDMI, 1 VGA, 3 or 4 USBs (preference for 3.0, at least 2.0), CD/DVD Reader/Recorder. Blu-Ray not needed, but optional. 1 SD/MicroSD (there is a notebook that hava Micro SD?). Don't use many others. Bluetooth not needed, but if possible, I want.
Color/Finish: Piano Black or something Grey. Suggestions accepted.
Another things I may have forgotten, please ask.
Use will be browsing, wathing movies/series, light to medium editior programs usage, gaming, songs (a lot) and, of course, Android user things.
Thanks for the help.

It will serve you well.

Asus, just look at specification and price. Do we really need help you with that? We can only tell our opinions.

Yes I know, got one myself. Asus K53SV-SX838V. It got an I7 2670QM 2.2Ghz, 8GB Ram, Nvidia GT 540M 1GB, 640GB HDD.
But well you got look for yourself, Asus K53 is the serie I have, they have them in several options, I got the better option. This one should fill your needs for sure.

sent you a PM.

I've always been partial to Toshiba. Never had any hardware related problems with them.

Here.
I have an HP, and although they aren't that reliable, their performance is outstanding, especially the dv7 series. Go for one of these, Toshibas are also extremely durable and reliable.

OK. Thanks for your help. I was just searching for ideas.

I'm assuming you don't mean dual core cpu? The a8 is single core unlike the mali gpu but still looks very good value.

This reminds me of the viewsonic gtablet I got for free, rooted it with hc and then gave away for free. It had decent hardware for how old it was, but weighed enough to kill someone if you needed to use it for self defense purposes
It wasn't "the hot thing" on the market though, so custom roms for it were rare because it'd be like putting a custom paint job on a Kia... fail.
If people buy these things and there is support in the dev community out there it could be good, but I keep hearing this voice in my head thats saying "you get what you pay for".

Seems interesting, but may be too good to be true (especially the price)

If the price is legitimately that low, no hesitation purchase from me

Computer specifications thread.

Just an off-topic post. Wondering if anybody else built their own computer on here, and if so what specs and what was the overall price? Mine is as follows:
Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3 AM3+ socket motherboard. USB 3.0 slots, 6 SATA III ports, 4 RAM slots supporting up to 32GB, Award BIOS v6.
AMD Athlon II X3 450 3.2Ghz - unlocked 4th core, now a Phenom X4 B50 3.2Ghz.
ASUS NVIDIA GeForce GT610 GPU, 2GB memory.
8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport 1333Mhz - overclocked to 1600Mhz.
Some crappy £20 case with a 500W power supply included.
7.1 HD Sound Card.
That's about it. Cost me £280 in total, and it gets 5.2 on the Windows Experience index (would be 6.9 if the GPU didn't let me down on Windows Aero)

This could go in here :

Well, it wasn't on the first four pages at the time of typing, and when I typed in the title absolutely nothing nearly related came up, so I thought nobody had made a thread on this subject (although that would have been quite weird, considering the amount of developers on this website)

I have a pretty large keyboard. Goes by the name of the Dell SK-8135. I use this for gaming, I much prefer having large keys that let you know when you have pressed them than some laptop keyboard on which the buttons will register a press if you drop a paperclip on them.

Its 801

dont think there's a hell of a difference between the two anyway, the form factor is the same apparently. With that in mind (if that's the case) I hardly think it's worth the leap, unless the extra gig of RAM would merit spending 600 quid on a phone you already have.
Once a year is more than enough for a company to release a phone, all this 5 phones a year crap is ridiculous.

I don't know, the spec page says MSM8974AB which is 800. 801 is MSM8974AC
Also why would they go from 2.2 to 2.3 if it's a 801, since it can go up to 2.5?

Probably just a typo error. Even the website stated that Z2 is having 3000 mAh instead of 3200. People who were in MWC confirmed that the device is using 801.
Anyway, it probably doesnt make much difference since in the website itself it is stated that "xxxAB". The differences between "xxxAB" and "xxxAC" is really definitely not noticeable.
Been with sony with quite sometime, Sony tend to go with "safer" side, for eg: if the chip allows 2.5ghz, they would lower it for cooler and better battery life. Samsung on the other hand, tend to max out of it. lol.
Look at Xperia Z, default of snapdragon s4 pro is 1.7, but they choose to clock it at 1.5.

They are all s800 with different variants...
1st gen in our z1
2nd gen in z2
And
3rd gen in s5

One of two things have happened here:
1. Qualcomm have told Sony that the AB chipset can be advertised as the S801 and Sony has gone ahead and done tha.
2. Sony have used the wrong chipset code and are actually using the AC version.
Either way, the AB and AC chipsets are closer to each other in terms of performance than the original S800 chipset so the Z2 will fly either way.

Ah thank you for the link.
I was excited about the Z2 and then this thread comes up and I was like, what? Same chipset as the Z1?!
But this cleared it up and Z2 is right back on the table.

Another link:

Qualcomm are listing it as the S801.

Well, there is only a marginal difference between 2nd and 3rd gen. Samsung are intent on rocking the useless benchmark tests, that's completely okay by me.

It appears the Z2 has the 2.3GHz Snapdragon 801 while the S5 has the 2.5GHz variant of the SD801. The latter should give about 10% performance advantage, I dunno if there will be a difference between a 2.3GHz SD800 and 2.3GHz SD801. Matters not really, it's all about optimization, my Nexus 4 is snappier than the Z1 and Note3.

Haha...awesome...
Scam or just mistake we would never know..

does it really matter
as far as i am concerned the only reason the 801 exists is that the 805 is not ready and all these new manufacturers wanted a "new" chip set in their phones so sd gave them an over clocked sd 800 with a new name. check put this anandtech article.

Galaxy S5 Plus announced

Samsung just announced the Galaxy S5 Plus. Bummer I just bought my S5 about 2 months ago.. and literally just bought a Nexus 5 to play around with from the Play Store..
Features a 2.5Ghz Snapdragon 805 (underclocked from 2.7GHz found in Note 4)
Significantly faster memory bandwidth
Upgraded GPU (presumably a Adreno 420)
Faster LTE (advance 300Mbps).
Anyone here tempted to upgrade? Im wondering what the overall performance is like compares to S5 and Note 4.

Don't c a need to upgrade any further unless they improve the display and add more ram...And stop with all the dang lockdown on their phones ...if it wasn't for HTC so called ultra pixel camera I would jump to them ..

Do not buy plus phones, they will not be prioritized. Look at the s4 plus and its update history.

The same screen size, only difference is the snapdragon 805 procesor. The rest of the specs remains unchanged
