True, but not a solution unfortunately...

Unfortunately @Boston_Bruins_SD wants to spend 600$ and for that price you cannot buy a new XPS so...

I wouldn't say heavy, just more sturdy...

If you do not need an ultrabook, a good lightweight alternative is Dell's Inspiron 7000 line (Inspiron 13 or 15).

Sync programs (like Synkron) only copy the changes that you make on your folder, each time you schedule a sync, and not the entire data of your drive so you will only have to wait 4+ hours once...

Here is what you need to achieve that: 5 VMs, 5 instances of windows (student version is free), 5 instances of Inventor, Solidworks and Matlab (student version is free I think), one hypervisor (unraid, ESXi). Hardware-wise you will need at least 24 threads (more will be better), at least 64 gb of ram, at least 5 GPUs (1 for passthrough/ 1 for each VM), at least 6 ssds, a case to fit all that and a psu to power all that. Now some other notes on the subject. If you are going to use the Autodesk stuff for educational purposes (light objects) I guess you can get by with cheaper GPUs lets say GTX 950s for example. On the other hand you will have to spend big on the CPUs+MOBO. All and all this is my proposal (+ 4 more 950s)

Well I live in Greece so I don't see that day coming any time soon

Remote desktop streaming on the internet is worse than it should be at this point. I use chrome remote desktop and I can tell you that I do share your point of view on this. Game streaming via the internet is not possible on Chromebooks I think, Remote media streaming on the other hand is great, very satisfied with Plex services. Lets hope android app compatibility solve some of these issues or I will be switching to linux soon.

Actually the post was about me sharing my struggles on setting up chrome os to have some function besides browsing the internets+seeking advice on the subject. It seems that nobody cares so we ended up talking about gaming laptops which is fine by me...

It is just that I missed you guys and I wanted to draw attention back to the post. Oh and by all means feel free to laugh at me. I do post here for fun, no offence taken...

Another one that shares views with me...

Any alternatives to "gaming laptops"
gio_v replied to Computerengland's topic in Laptops and Pre-Built Systems
Save some more money and buy a used Y50 or something, you cannot put integrated graphics and gaming in the same sentence. Better yet buy a desktop pc... -
I guess I could factor in a membrane keyboard and some crappy speakers (that is what you get on a laptop right?) for what 20$-30$ more? As for a display a really good 15-17 inch monitor costs about how much? oh and 500 Euros = 561.32500 U.S. dollars
