New Laptop buy for GF

[bigdfootball89]

Hey guys, it's been a while but glad to be back! Anyway, I need some quick help with a purchase. The babes is starting her masters deg and I wanted to get her a new laptop. Non negotiables, as per her request, are as follows:

-Can manage 10 tabs without lagging
-Fast WiFi connection
-Long battery life
-Light
-Tablet flipping (touchscreen)

I know I know, she'll be watercooling rigs in no time, but now this'll do.
Would like for it to come out under $500-550. Let me know if you guys know of anything and thanks in advance!

This is probably about the best convertible you can get in that price range:

Haven't been that many great deals lately. If you could wait till BF sure will be some better options.

Yea I figured as much, worst case I'll wait till late Nov but I'm going to try to get it done by end of this week if the deal makes sense. Thanks for that recommendation Daleon! That's one of the highest quality ones I've seen for the specs I'm requesting. Definitely worth some mulling over.

What about the FP laptop from Slickdeals for $300?

I'd just worry about that processor, and would like to check out the timings on those 4gb. Goddamn these vendors and their lack of specificity when talking specs But it's a great deal! Thanks!

Intel Celeron is going to be extremely slow, even for Internet browsing.

11.6" screen is smaller than I would care to use as a laptop. Tablet sure, but for real work it would drive me nuts.
Yeah that Celery going to be terribly slow running Windows. Could look into these:

Go to 11" 2-in-1 models:

Then there's this one, even nicer than the Acer for the same price.

If your still looking for a good laptop deal:

Add a small SSD to it and your set.

What is she majoring in? Something that involves a lot of stuff like 3D CAD or video editing would take a lot more than writing.
