My daily driver is a 2016 ASUS ROG G752VT-DH74. The specs are in my signature. My dad happens to have the same laptop as well, but his is slightly weaker than mine and had no preinstalled SSD in it (though I fixed that for him within weeks of getting the machine refurbished from eBay.) Both of these machines are "laptops" but only in the name. These are really desktop replacements because they are so large. 17 inch screen size. I had trouble finding a backpack that could fit a machine this large and thick. Battery life: 30mins-1hour, cut that in half if gaming unplugged.
My travel laptop is a 2013 HP Pavilion TouchSmart 11-e015dx, little 11 inch netbook. Has a swappable battery bay which is something that's becoming rare these days. This one is also touchscreen, but it's next to useless on Linux. It's now a strictly Linux machine, Linux Lite of course, but have run Linux Mint, Ubuntu and Manjaro at one point or another in the past. Battery life I get about 3-4 hours, and am looking to purchase another (maybe 2) batteries for uninterrupted unplug sessions out and about on college campus. AMD A6-1450 APU processor with AMD Radeon HD8250 graphics, 4Gb RAM.
