Intel Core i3 or AMD A6
Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Acer Laptop Battery
The web-streamer: You don't need to store a lot of photos or videos locally on a hard drive, but want something that will be quick and powerful enough to let you multitask and get things done online.
Specs: You'll want a 5th or 6th generation Intel i3 or more powerful i5 processor, 4GB of RAM, 13-inch HD display, and 128GB of storage.
There are a few good options here, particularly on the Chromebook front though if you're willing to spend you'll be most pleased with the Dell XPS 13 for $799.99 from Dell.com.
For the casual user: You like to store lots of photos, videos and documents on your hard drive, want a large screen for watching videos, you multitask with plenty of apps or programs running at once and like the flexibility of a laptop but don't plan to use it much outside the house.
Specs: In this case you're best off with something with at least 4GB of RAM, a 5th or 6th generation Intel Core i3 or AMD A6 processor, 500GB hard drive and a 14- or 15-inch HD screen. Battery with battery like Acer 916-3060 Battery, Acer SQU-405 Battery, Acer Aspire 3935 Battery, Acer Aspire 4220 Battery, Acer AL10A31 Battery, Acer Aspire One D260 Battery, Acer LC.BTP00.002 Battery, Acer Asprie 5580 Battery, Acer AL10D56 Battery, Acer Aspire 1430 Battery, Acer AS09D36 Battery, Acer AS09D56 Batterylife of 5-7 hours is nice for the times you do go out. There are plenty of options from Best Buy, Amazon and others that meet this level on the Windows side.
The student or on-the-go traveler: You want something sleek and light with excellent battery life. You also need something with good speed and performance. Basically, you're looking for a hybrid between a tablet's thinness and a laptop's power.
Specs: You want something with an 11-14-inch HD touchscreen display, Intel 5th or 6th generation i5 or i7 (or an AMD A8 or A10) processor with 4GB-8GB of RAM and at least a 256GB solid state drive for storage.
There are plenty of ultra-thin laptops out there but you may also want to look for one of the "2-1" machines out there like Lenovo's Yoga line, HP's x360, Dell's Inspiron line, Acer's Aspire line or even Microsoft's Surface 3 or Surface Pro 3 tablets (though if you go Surface remember to buy the $149 keyboard attachment). These devices are super thin while still packing real processing power.
