Uni Programming Laptop

Hi,

 

I'm going to Uni soon and need a laptop for study and for leisure which is good enough for my needs but at as low as price as possible and was wondering if any of you kind people had any suggestions. I will be studying game development.

 

what I'm roughly looking for is as follows:

 

- Intel i5 quad core @ 2.4GHz / or better

- Nvidia GTX 900 series (or good enough to play games and render game scenes - likely to be poorly optimised)

- 8 GB RAM

- 500GB+ HDD or SSD

- Wifi (obviously)

-1080p and decent size screen (eg. 12+ inch)

 

added bonuses:

 

- Optical drive

- Webcam and Mic

- SD card reader

 

Price range: around £600-700, I can be slightly lenient on that

 

As for the laptop size and weight, I'm not that bothered if it can help bring the price down.

Colour, preferably dark, but... please just no pink ;)

 

oh, and please no HP... I hate HP laptops, otherwise you can be kinda lenient

 

Thankyou to anyone who can help

- Will
