hi everyone, need help just like everyone else here.

1. Brand: Any will do. although the idea of a thinkpad is appealing
2. Budget: 3k and under if possible, abit over is fine
3. Usage: Gonna study law, want to record music (fast HDD write speed?), and dota occasionally. i5 is kind of a priority, not because i need it, it's just a mindset that i dont wanna get something crappy that wont be usable in a few years time.
4. Size: 13-14 inches

p.s. i'm aware that quite alot of laptops fulfill my requirements. Too many in fact, and that why i need help deciding the best.

Thanks!
