I've been looking around for a LONG time to find the perfect laptop for school... Let me explain my situation.
Im a Mechanical Engineering student, avid gamer, and occasional media arts enthusiast. This means I need a lot of graphics power, ample ram, and something portable for class. Also, my math teacher doesn't allow laptops, but is fine with tablets or 2-in-1 laptops (anything that lays flat when in use...)
I need the following specs or better:
-16gb RAM (preferably high clock speed)
-i7 7th gen (I could settle for 6th gen but I'd really prefer something like the 7700hq or 7700k)
-Nvidia GTX 970m or GTX 1050 TI (MUST be TI version or it won't have enough power for Engineering/Gaming)
-256 GB SSD or larger
Things I would LIKE to have:
-4k resolution
-Anti-Glare screen (though a lot of 4k screens are glossy...)
-Touchscreen (but ONLY if it can be laid flat or in a tablet configuration or else I can't use it for math)
I would prefer to keep the budget around $1000, I cannot spend 2k or near there... But I'm flexible on price because even if the new price is high, I may find a pre-owned or refurbished one for cheap. So don't be too concerned about price, just nothing absurdly pricey or I won't find a used one in my budget.
Any help is much appreciated, I have been looking at the Dell Xps 15 (GTX 960m model) or the HP Spectre x360 but they don't have a lot of graphics capability... Any thoughts?
