Hey all , I am a big fan of Linus and have been following his YouTube videos for years . I wouldn't quite call my self a tech-savvy kind of person , but I try to keep my information fresh as much as possible. Since you guys are some sort of experts I would like to ask your advice for which laptop/or portable workstation you might advice me with . I would be really grateful for any tips or suggestions as I am on a tight budget . First of all, I am an architect with a master degree and currently doing my PhD in urban studies. So I basically use CAD softwares , Rhino + Grasshopper ( visual programming ) , c# and Python , and GIS ( Arc Maps ) . I will be also doing renderings (high quality ) and some data analysis . As you can see I need quite a responsive reliable system ( without sudden crashes and slow sluggish performance) . During my masters , I used (and still now using ) HP ( y7x67ea - i7 7th generation - 15 inch display ) and it has served me very well so far ( survived multiple system crashes , durable body built ) but the screen resolution started to fade ways noticeably . My Budget : 1300 to 1600 $ . Options that I have viewed are : 1-Dell G5 15 Gaming Laptop – Core i7 2.2GHz 16GB 1TB+256GB 4GB Win10 15.6inch FHD Black + Pre-loaded MS Office ( at 1300 $ ) . 2- Lenovo Ideapad L340 Gaming Laptop – Core i7 2.6GHz 16GB 1TB+256GB 4GB Win10 15.6inch FHD Black ( at 1100 $ ) . Your advice will be valuable !! P.S: I live in Dubai , and the local market has limited options in comparison to US markets , but I can buy and ship easily to here . So if you can recommend certain models it would be great :) . Thanks , Noura
