Laptop for University

Hello everyone,

I'm going to start as a computer science student in a few weeks but I'll need a laptop to accompany me. I have a gaming rig at home (3770k, 16gig RAM, GTX 1060 6gig), though I'll need to upgrade it some time in the future. I don't have a laptop at the moment and that's why, I would like to find a something, which will be enough for my everyday tasks.

 

It should be light enough, because I will need to carry it to University everyday and have decent battery life (around 6h min).

 

It should be 13''-15'' big, but I would prefer 15". Build quality should also be pretty good.

 

I don't really like Apple, so a machine for Windows/Linux would be preferable.

 

For performace, it should be good enough to do coding, VM's, some CAD, Photoshop, browsing and other typical CS stuff.

 

My budget is around 2500€

P52, only if you really need the Quadro for CAD work though


Get anything with an i7 + GTX 1050 should be like 1500 EUR or less, or an R5 2500U Matebook D if the price is right

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
