Hi all,

 

I just want some suggestions for a few laptops.I've been using a DELL Latitude 3480 for the last 2 years for school, and it would break my back every time I've brought it to school. It's not a something that I will be immediately, just so I could keep my eyes out for and hopefully pick during Black Friday. 

 

These are the requirements:

1) Budget about 750-800 USD. 850 tops.

2) Lightweight, preferably 3-4 lbs, 5 lbs max

3) Will be doing moderate productivity and gaming

(League, R6 Seige, Apex. I don't mind having to go on lower settings, just as long as it's playable, 60 fps)

(Coding, emulating, etc.)

4) Quiet is a must, I can't have it blowing a hurricane in the library.

5) Preferably 13 in. 

 

I'm not too worried about storage since I could bring along a portable SSD but if it came with a 128~256 gb SSD pre-built that would be great. RAM upgradability in the future would be much appreciated. That being said, please no Macs. :)

I doubt there is such laptop unless you go for eGPU solution (which is far beyond your budget)

What would be a suitable choice? I don’t mind keeping an eye on some that might go on sale during Black Friday. Even if the price is beyond my budget.

Either go for eGPU+13 inch Ultrabook with TB3 or thin and light 15 inch gaming laptop (which will have loud fans). Both are way above your budget
