Laptop for uni

[Lord Puddles]

I'm going off to university in September and need a laptop capable of meeting my needs.

I have a desktop at home but i'm not going to be taking it with me due to the portability needs I have with studying etc.

I'm looking for one preferably with a GTX 1060 or higher, whilst still not being a tank

Currently I could get the Acer Aspire V15 Nitro Black Edition for £1350, which is massively cheaper than the Razer Blade (£1999), ASUS GL502 (£1899 although with a 1070) or even the new Gigabyte Aero 15 (£1899) which also looks pretty good, is there any reason to spend the extra on anything else?

Any recommendations are appreciated

Your main priority should be portability and battery life. Uni work > Gaming.

 

Nevertheless, good luck!

xps 15 would be better, OP what are you going into?

I love everything about the XPS 15 just unsure whether the 1050 would last me, and I'll be studying Marketing!

1050 is more than enough but since you are going into marketing, aero 14 would be better if you plan on gaming.
