laptop under $1500

[sebastien calvignac]

Hi, i am looking to buy a laptop under $1500 dollars which gives me good performance per $ and that is formal and thin enough such that i can bring it to work (i basically dont want a 10cm thick laptop with loads of gaming logos). I will be using this laptop almost the whole day, part will be simple word and browsing and part will be gaming. So far i have researched a bit and found the acer aspire VN7-591G-74SK to be quite good. (V Nitro series)

 

Acer aspire VN7-591G-74SK specs :

 

processor: intel core i7-4710HQ quad-core at 2.5GHz

display: 1920 x 1080     15.6" display

graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M with 2 GB dedicated memory

memory: 16GB DDR3L SDRAM

storage: 1TB HDD  +  256GB SSD

 

 

Let me know if you think 2GB is enough i am a bit worried since i would like to run 2 external monitors at 1080p while gaming (not in surround gaming) and my current 512MB is far from enough. Let me know aswell if you know a laptop under $1500 that will beat the VN7-591G-74SK, im sure there is but i suck at finding.    Thanks in advance for any help.

 

Note: I dont care if its Intel, AMD or Nvidia, all i want is performance and quality.

Get something like an msi gt/gs/ge laptop, they're quite the bang for the buck

How much does portability matter? Are you looking for gaming or portability

The Lenovo y50 touch is nice and on the cheaper and more formal side. 1200 for i7 a tb of storage and 8gb ram. Solid build quality to.

Not gonna find a lot better than the acer

Surface Pro is formal, won't play any games but its formal

I am looking more for the gaming side.

You could probably get a used razer blade for under 1500 if you looked hard.

the lenovo y50 seems nice but should i worry about it having only 8GB of memory ?

I don't think you should. My current pc I use for gaming only has 8 and that's more than enough for me playing modern fps games. Unless your going to run a server you shouldn't need more than 8.

@sebastien calvignac this laptop is wonderful but it is $100 over budget. The y50 is also pretty damn good. These are the two main laptops I would recommend for your price point.

If you don't care about portability, you could go for a 17" inch model. Its more comfortable to game on.
