What laptop would you recommend? (For $900)

[L4chun]

Hey there,

 

 

I'd like to buy a laptop for myself - currently only have a workstation/PC -, as I work as a designer and would like to be able to work even when I'm not at home, so my preference would be a laptop that's easy to work on whether I'm working with Photoshop, or Illustrator (or both) therefore I'm thinking in about 8 gigs of ram, i5 or i7 cpu, 17 inches etc. I started to look around today, and seen some prices already - I believe the price frame I have for this purchase is reasonable.

 

I'd be happy to see some recommendations of laptops from the best community on the Earth.

 

 

Thanks in advance guys.

Not too sure about specific laptops, but if youre a designer, those types of programs usually are more CPU orientated, so try get an i7

 

A decent amount of RAM wouldnt hurt either.

For $900 I don't think you can get a brand new laptop with IPS screen and a reasonable GPU.

 

As an example the Lenovo Y50-70 cheapest model (59440646) costs $989.00 + tax

 

Sure you can get Dell Inspiron 7000 series and have a 1920x1080 Screen but you would be stuck in a dual core CPU (unless you get more expensive model) and intel onboard graphics :wacko:

 

 

If you are willing to get a pre-owned or refurbished gaming laptop (IMO it is as good as new), then there is a really good deal ATM.

 

The Asus G751JM-BHI7T25 from cowboom (pre-owned satisfactory condition) sells for $644.99 + TAX ($664.99 - $20 coupon for new members) and is the best bang for the back in terms of gaming and productivity related work.

-It has Intel Core i7 4720HQ up to 3.6Ghz Haswell 4C/8T

-NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M (it is a GM207 Haswell Chip which is also a rebrand of GTX 960M. It has roughly the same performance as GTX 750 Ti Desktop GPU)

-17.3" 1920x1080 IPS Touch screen (can be overclocked to 100Hz easily) and maybe potentially G-Sync Hack.

-Wireless AC WiFi

-it has 2 empty Free RAM slot that you can later add more RAM if you want.

-it also has thunderbolt so in case in the future you want to add an external Desktop Graphics card, you just get an external enclosure like AKiTiO Thunder2 + power supply + GPU (like GTX 970) and.

I like how you are going round almost every thread promoting the same machine.
