Primarily I am going to be using VS 2015 (Visual Studio) and later editions, so we can safely assume there is a lot of memory-hogging and processor-crunching.I need a laptop which wouldn't cost me time in terms of compilation/execution Although I would prefer SSD, I am willing to look at other options like SSHD/HDD if they do fit the bill. Or a third option wherein I could buy HDD and then replace it with SSD bought separately.Budget: $1000Portability: I am going to be travelling a fair bit around the country, yes. But not frequently.Battery backup: ~4-5 hours at leastScreen: 15 should be fine.SSD : 256 ideally. but am willing to go a little lesser here.Again, though I prefer SSD for performance reasons, I am willing to look at cheaper alternatives which might give comparable performance like the SSHD.Location is India.
