New laptop

[Jefke]

I need a laptop for school but I never bought a laptop before (pretty much dislike laptops)

 

So I really dunno which laptops are good and which suck.

 

I'm used to build my pc myself, but you can't build a laptop :'(

 

 

The laptop won't be used to game on so the graphics aren't that important

 

 

 

I need

 

- minimum 4gig of ram but probably more

- i5 or i7 CPU

 

The HDD also isn't important (always can upgrade it later ^^)

 

The screen doesn't have to big (15.6 inch will be fine)

 

 

So somebody with advice ^^

 

 

edit: almost forget: budget 800-1200 euro

Laptop to school for 1000 euro? With 4 gig ram ? I bought my laptop (to gaming), paid about 500 euro, and it works very well:P If u need a laptop for school(documents, etc) just buy a netbook. It's made for things like that.

My laptop I use for gaming is i7 and 4GB RAM. I got it for $800 (don't know the rate between euros). I bought up the last 2 of its kind so... Goodluck finding one that fits your criteria. I don't have any problems with it, and its actually faster than my desktop.

i7 and 4Gb RAM min

Let me get this straight. You recommend a $1000 gaming laptop to someone who is looking for a notebook for school and explicitly not for gaming? This thing is 11". A netbook with a similar screen costs one third of that.

He is talking about that it is not posible to build a laptop

if he wants to build a laptop, when he only needs a netbook

why he needs the 4gb ram and probably more for?

and spend 800 to 1200 euro?

for that money i think there is no laptop with crappy graphicscard

forgive me if im wrong

I have a Dell Precision M6500 that cost me around $1300 Canadian with i7 and 16gb of ram. Only downside is that the graphics card is a Nvidia Quadro FX which is more oriented towards graphics programs and not gaming and since its my work laptop I never loaded any games on it.

Thats a nice laptop m8

first of all I already got a laptop (pretty old topic) ^^

 

second of all: I didn't need a gaming laptop but I'm studying informatics (programming and stuff) so the laptop had to be pretty powerfull (not overkill but good enough)

 

 

I didn't want a crappy graphics, I just didn't care which one it was (gaming => desktop, hate gaming on laptop)

 

for the record :

 

it's a nvidia geforce GT555m, i7 cpu , 6gig ram and 750 HDD (7200rpm).

LoL thats good for all

 

Cheers koop
