(Gaming) laptop for College

SuperStroopwafel

Hey guys,

 

I'm going to college soon. I need a laptop for it. My budget is around 1500 euro and I can stretch it to 1700. I realize that this is an important purchase. I need to use it everyday for around 10 hours.

 

Uses:

- Scripting

- Video editing

- 3D rendering

^^^^^^^^^^^ most important 3

- Gaming

- Normal use like chrome and youtube and por.... nvm

 

I was thinking about the MSI GS70, Linus is going to review it soon :)

 

The MSI GT80 Titan would be amazing haha, but that price will be around 3000 (my guess)

 

A SSD is a requirement!

 

Thanks in advance!

Your uses are easy to fill with 1500€, although, do you need 8h of battery? And what do you play normally?

My choice would be the 15" Retina MacBook Pro since it has lots of power and has excellent battery life and a good screen for video editing and stuff. Dont know about 3D rendering though.

it can handle gaming pretty well. Not on max settings but mostly medium to high. 

 

I dont know about you but I wouldnt wanna want to carry around a 4-5 kg brick and a freakin large AC adapter with me.

 

And yeah it has an SSD. (about 600-700 MB/s read and write speeds.)

I love my Lenovo Y50. You can get the 4k price and still have some extra money to play with.
