I Need to Find a Creative Laptop

 

BUDGET: $2500 or more if absolutely necessary.

 

Now to the details, I have just got involved in a couple of businesses that require me to use creative tools.

 

I have entered the dance lighting business and need a laptop to handle the DMX controller for the lights, along with being able to hand

programs for djing as we are planning to expand to lights and music.

 

 

Also, I am starting to create a few websites, one of which for the lighting business, another for sales. I need a laptop with amazing color and pixel density to

make professional looking websites.

 

Finally, I am entering the game design industry and need a laptop that can effectively use all of the necessary programs (Unity Engine, Adobe Suite)

 

So far I have come to the conclusion of a maxed out Macbook Pro 15, with the student discount the total would be $2547 before taxes.

Before making my final decision, I would like to hear good alternatives to my decision. Also, If i am getting the macbook pro, lower models are not 

an option as they do not have the Nvidia GPU.

 

Thanks in advance.

The MacBook Pro will do very, very well. Also consider the Gigabyte Aorus X7. It's in your price range, has an i7 4700HQ, up to 32GB RAM and dual GTX 765Ms.

Thanks for the quick response, and do you know how the colors are on the x7?

Screen colors? It uses an IPS 1080p panel. The colors should be very accurate.
