Recommend me a Laptop

[DeathHunter18]

So I'm looking for a new laptop for when I start University (Network Management and Security)

By MINIMUM it should have a 64-bit processor (For Virtualization), with at least 8GB RAM (12GB preferred)

If possible, Windows 8 Professional

Thanks

Hi,

Any reason it needs to be a Laptop? You'd get much better for you're money (performance wise) with a desktop.

What is your budget for this?

Laptop preferably since then I can use it whilst travelling, and during university hours

Anyway the budget is £750-1200

£1200.

Well the GX60 is currently £800 with AMD/ATI stuff in it. so bang for buck, thats pretty good.

All the way up til £1300 you're getting i7 porcessors, 8gb RAM. Hit £1320 and you can get either the P34g 14" gigabyte with i7 2.5ghz, 16gb Ram and GTX860m. Or the MSI GS60 15.6" with i7 2,4ghz, 16gb Ram, GTX 870m. Both are light, 2cm thin, perfect for travel and powerful with the innards!

Its your choice really!

Take a look at the Gigabytes, but you should state your budget

Well, baring in mind the 8xx series is a significant step up from the 7xx series (35% better crysis 3 performance for the 860m, 90% for the 870m), if you're only doing mid range gaming, that looks like the winner! Super thin, fully loaded, great price! You'll still be cracking out crysis, BF4, COD, etc on a GTX 765m. And you get your i7 2.4ghz processor, 16Gb RAM, and a bluray writer! You're looking at £260 more to upgrade to the 870m in the P35k v2 (£1400).
