University laptop

[Lawrence13]

I'm going to university next year and they are asking me to get a laptop with certain specs and I am having a bit of trouble finding the right model so I was wondering if someone could help me find someone.

The recommended specs are "at least":

-Intel i5 or i7 from 7th generation or later

-8gb RAM

-2gb of VRAM

-256gb ssd 

-horizontal resolution 1280p and 14"

-4 cell battery with 4 hour autonomy

(Of course it has to run on Windows) 

 

Thank you for the help

Budget? Weight?

 

14 inches is less common than 13 and 15. Is there a reason why?

Unless you give us a budget, use case(what course are you taking??) and what is the form factor you want??? Can you lug around something that weighs 3 kilos or do you want something lighter. Also where do you live???

It says at least 14 to have some space on the screen but 15 is pretty ok for sure. On teh budget I would say for below 1000$ for sure and weight around 2kg as I have to carry it to university with some other books.

I'm not sure of the name in English but is like computer engineering but more focused on computer nets, telecommunications and that stuff. I'm looking for a laptop that I can carry around with other books so I think around 2kg. Budget below 1000$ and I live in Spain

ojala puedas usarlo sin la ñ, pero una visita al corte ingles te puede ahorrar algunos euritos https://www.amazon.es/Acer-Aspire-A715-71G-52XK-Ordenador-i5-7300HQ/dp/B074TKDN2L/ref=sr_1_19_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1531753033&sr=8-19-spons&keywords=portatil+gtx+1050&psc=1

Eso es sencillo, pero con toda honestidad te conviene comprar una Asus rog ya que están a buen precio a comparación de las demás, pero son un ladrillo.

I guess your best bet is finding a good ultrabook on sale but I don't know the prices in your country. So links to online stores??

I ended up getting a hp pavilion 15 ck014ns as it had pretty good balance of performance and portability and in case I needed to do some heavy worlkload, surely I could do it from home with the family desktop. 

Thank you all for all the help.
