Simply put my laptop is dead and I'm currently on a backup one that is not handling my tasks what so ever and I'm looking for an upgrade.

 

I do digital art, 3d moddeling, sculpting,... all those things where a good screen and a strong laptop do really come in handy.

 

I have a budget of 1400€ max which is the same budget as I had for the laptop that died now which I got 4 years ago. I've been mainly looking used and found some dell xps's (the xps 15 mainly), lenovo p52's and a couple hp zbook g5's that are nice but all have a worse gpu and that would kinda suck to have to downgrade even after all these years have passed.

 

Old laptop spec:

i7 6700hq

970m 6gb version

32gb of ram

512 960 evo + 1tb sata ssd

1080p 15.6inch screen that is color calibrated and covers 92% of the adobe rgb space so is good enough for mobile working which I do a lot as I spend most weekends and some weeks away from my desk setup with the good monitor.

Also it has to have the ability to have 2 extra monitors hooked up to it (1 wacom cintiq (hdmi) and 1 eizo monitor (displayport or hdmi).

 

I can reuse the ssd's and ram (2*16gb) so if it's an upgradeable device then I can just plop those in and call it a day. I'd really like the laptop to just be better than what I had but if compromises have to be made then so be it.

 

Thank you for your time
