Need new laptop for school! Please help!

[Thevacuumcleaner]

Hallo guys! 

 

first of all thanks for helping! I need a laptop for school (starting college next year). The budget is between 800 and 900 euro's or 850 and 950 dollars. The main question I got is wheter to get a quad-core i5 or a dual core i7? Id also like a dedicated GPU and at least 8gb of RAM. 

 

Thanks again hope to see some answers!

For $1000~ and less, don't expect anything great, like seriously. Most gaming laptops (decent dedicated GPU and CPU) are priced around $1800+ and the better/best ones sit at $2600+

I think including VAT, you're not going to get a quad-core i7 in your budget. You can still get a dGPU though. And mobile i5s don't have quad-cores.

Normally I would recommend the chromebook, only saying this cause like the guy said above me, it's gonna be difficult to find something good.

This is the best I found, it is a quad core with hyperthreading allowing 8 threads. i7-4720hq with a 960m 2gb

XPS 13 is what I would recommend solely for school pure slim, professional grade carbon fiber. Again, only purchase this if its for school related materiel only.

That is over his budget.

That is over his budget.

Let him decide if he wants a decent gaming experience or not.

He never said it was for gaming. lel.

He never said it wasn't for gaming either.

 

No reason to get a dGPU otherwise.

Thanks for all the replies! The gaming i might do is very light the main focus is a good laptop for productivty over any dGPU any other suggestions knwing that? Also a ssd and hdd for storage onboard might be nice. Thanks!
