Laptop recommendation and feedback on my suggestion

[Froger96]

hello all, been a while

now i'm looking for a laptop for uni,

my budget is about  £1000, i really don't want to go much over that.

i'm looking for a laptop for content creation along side uni work.

so i will require horsepower and a good screen, along side something relatively slim (doesn't have to be a macbook or anything just nothing like one of those big gaming laptops, i'd rather sacrifice some performance to keep it slimmer)

so some needs are: IPS panel, i7 6xxx series is preferred, backlit keyboard (as i work in the dark a lot), Cuda GPU, SSD and a 1tb hard drive (not an SSHD),  and an SD card reader but i'm willing to sacrifice it it's a good enough laptop.

 

what i have been currently look at are:

Dell inspiron 15 ( £ 950)

however i heard the build quality of this is not that great but if any of you have expirience i would love to hear it

or

HP Omen 15 1080p ( £ 1000) 4K ( £ 1200) (in this case would spend more to future proof to 4K)

i hear that the screen wasn't that great colours wise(contrast ratio at least). but if any of you have experience i would love to hear it.

or 

Lenovo Y700 15 1080p ( £ 999) 4K ( £ 1099)

however i am most reluctant to get this laptop, i saw in linus's review ages ago that the screen has a weird glitch in the older model where if you play a game at 1080p on the 4K version it crops in. also i have had a lenovo laptop and it's not really been that good, forcing a windows refresh multiple times and with a key on the keyboard breaking, along with my dad having the lenovo Y70, (the one before) and the intergrated graphics on his CPU was dying (server artifacting and screen flicker) so needs to get it replaced.) so i'm worried to go with them personally. also colour accuracy is not that great of the screen.

 

does anyone else have an alternative suggestions, i use the Adobe CC with some Avid.

 

thank you in advance.

Now is a bad time to buy budget gaming notebooks. Wait for the Pascal ones to come to market with the 1050s and 1050tis

literally a month or two. The Dell Gaming 7000 series and the Lenovo Y520 are two notebooks you should be looking at. Should be out by the end of the month or two.

is a pascal GPU going to change that much? or is it just waiting for prices to go down or what?

Unless you hate performance LOL. It's a good bump
