Posted December 27, 2015 Hi, I have a really REALLY old laptop (HP Compaq nx8220) and I need a WAAY more powerful laptop to work and play games on the go. I need a quad core CPU with a dedicated GPU (amd or nvidia),4 to 8 GB of RAM and 15'' being the maximum size of the screen. My budget is 720 USD (Can be a little bit over).

Posted December 27, 2015 Lenovo Y50 - you should be able to snag one for 800$ - definitely the best you can get for that budget Archangel (Desktop) CPU: i5 4590 GPU:Asus R9 280 3GB RAM:HyperX Beast 2x4GBPSU:SeaSonic S12G 750W Mobo:GA-H97m-HD3 Case:CM Silencio 650 Storage:1 TB WD RedCelestial (Laptop 1) CPU:i7 4720HQ GPU:GTX 860M 4GB RAM:2x4GB SK Hynix DDR3Storage: 250GB 850 EVO Model:Lenovo Y50-70Seraph (Laptop 2) CPU:i7 6700HQ GPU:GTX 970M 3GB RAM:2x8GB DDR4Storage: 256GB Samsung 951 + 1TB Toshiba HDD Model:Asus GL502VTWindows 10 is now MSX! - http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/440190-can-we-start-calling-windows-10/page-6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 27, 2015 That's a little bit out of my budget.

Posted December 27, 2015 wow, that is a lot to spend. What OS do you have running on you current laptop. I feel that if you install Ubuntu, performance is likely to increase.

Posted December 28, 2015 Would you consider a second hand laptop? Please dont use stupid fonts and font sized seeing as it makes you look like a retard, just like i now look like a retard.

Posted December 28, 2015 -snip- Specs wise it's a good buy. Haven't got a clue how the build quality and cooling is. Also it is quite a bit thicker then it appears to be, just a heads up My Rig: Model: P650RG | Brand: Clevo | CPU: 6700HQ | GPU: 980M | RAM: 16GB KINGSTON HYPER-X DDR4 | SSD: 2x 480GB Kingston KC300 | Screen: 3K Panasonic IPS LED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't got a clue how the build quality and cooling is. Also it is quite a bit thicker then it appears to be, just a heads up It's quite poor build quality and lackluster cooling since it's a single fan where the GPU and CPU share the heat makes it a rather poor choice. Also, apparently 40% of these machines have factory defects since I'm seeing a lot of people complaining about broken screens or boards Archangel (Desktop) CPU: i5 4590 GPU:Asus R9 280 3GB RAM:HyperX Beast 2x4GBPSU:SeaSonic S12G 750W Mobo:GA-H97m-HD3 Case:CM Silencio 650 Storage:1 TB WD RedCelestial (Laptop 1) CPU:i7 4720HQ GPU:GTX 860M 4GB RAM:2x4GB SK Hynix DDR3Storage: 250GB 850 EVO Model:Lenovo Y50-70Seraph (Laptop 2) CPU:i7 6700HQ GPU:GTX 970M 3GB RAM:2x8GB DDR4Storage: 256GB Samsung 951 + 1TB Toshiba HDD Model:Asus GL502VTWindows 10 is now MSX! - http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/440190-can-we-start-calling-windows-10/page-6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
