I've been using a Samsung series 7 for nearly five years now, and I think that it's getting to the end - I'm getting BlueScreens pretty much every day.

[I'm sure that there must be a current 'what laptop' thread but I can't find it]

I'm not a power user, but I do a lot of travel, so priorities are:
- light
- strong
- light
- no slower than this one (i5-3317, 4GB RAM), but guessing that anything I buy now will meet this.
- as light as the Samsung (about 2.5 pounds)
- will be buying in the UK, but something around $1000 as a budget.

Bought an XPS13 for my partner last year, which she likes, so that's certainly an option. Also quite like the look of the Asus ZenBook Deluxe. Or an HP Spectre.

Anyone got any thoughts/input? ndekel?

Thanks
