I don't make laptop purchases often... but it's 100% Intel hardware when 
I do.

Currently using a HP Envy TS m6-k025dx  Sleek Book

Refurbished from HP @ $529 [1].  You can still find them on-line... they 
were $750 new.

Core i5 @ 2.6 GHz
8GB / 750GB
15.6" LED-backlit touch screen @ 1920x1080
Intel HD 4400 graphics
5.6 lbs

Everything works out of the box with C7 including touchscreen, wireless, 
blue-tooth, camera, audio.  I had to reassign two pins on the sound chip 
to enable the sub woofer.  I'd want a better keyboard if I were using 
the machine to code...

[1] Windows users were returning them in droves due to buggy Intel 
wireless drivers.  Thanks for the $220 discount HP !
