Hello everyone, this is my first time posting on the forums. I'm looking for a laptop for school. It's mostly gong to be used for graphics design and other school things. I plan on playing some League of Legends on it as well but not a whole lot. Budget is $800 - $1400 USD but the less I spend the better. I have been looking around but I'm not sure what's good for what I'm gonna do. Thank you for taking your time to read!

Do you care about weight? If not, you can check out the new Dell Inspiron 7577 or Acer Predator Helios 300. Those 2 laptops come with GTX 1060 (Dell uses Max-Q version, Acer uses the normal one) that goes for sub $1000. Though I think the Dell Inspiron 7577 would be better due to their ThunderBolt 3 port (full 4 lanes)

could you happen to have any other reccomendation that are below 1000$ ? 

 

I checked both the dell inspiron 7577 and accer helios price in my country, and it is a whopping 20 mil rupiahs (indonesian currency) D: 

 

I could only afford 800$ or lower  (which approx 11 million rupiahs) 

Thanks in advance, though
