Solved! 2018 Best Laptop to buy?

[aidonithith]

Hey,

So im starting my 4year Engineering degree and will need a new laptop, Im willing to invest in one that will last the span of my degree.

Im thinking the HP Spectre x360 15.6inch, or the Dell XPS 15 9560 or a Surface Book. I would be looking for 16gb ram and at least 256gb ssd with an i7 config for each one. Which one would you guys reccommend? Or is there a new one coming out in 2018 I should wait for?

As I am staying in the halls I wont have a tv or any other tech, this laptop and my phone will be used for absoulutly everything in my life for the next 4 years at least.

Thanks for the help

Dell XPS if you can afford that is a good pick. Surface is a bit meh unless you really want to have a tablet model, all the Surfaces we use at work have not been very reliable, it needs an external adapter for everything.

I would suggest you go with XPS 15 if you have that much budget. You can also check out the "Razer Blade 15" laptop. It has really good specs and meets all your requirements as well. Here's the config of Razer Blade 15:-
