New laptop for development

[sh4rif]

Hi folks

 

I want to buy a 15 inch laptop for my development purposes and I'm living in UK with the budget of up to £1000 to £1100..

 

I'm basically a developer work with php ruby node and stuff I need a decent laptop with good built quality a good i7 CPU and 16gb of ram and ssd of minimum to 512gb.

 

I looked at a few laptops such as lenovo Y50 and msi gs60 and scan's i7 laptop.

 

I would like to have you precious advise from professionals

 

Regards

 

Sharif
