Hi, I'm looking for a new laptop. My current laptop is a 2010 Toshiba Satellite A660 i7 upgraded with 8GB RAM and 1TB HDD
It's becoming slow, overheats easily and has troubles with booting and hibernation.
I work mainly with documents, spreadsheets, statistics software, and browser-based activities (including viewing 3D models). 3D modelling is my hobby.
I'm looking for an i7 processor (preferably quad core), 8GB RAM, dual drive storage.
Optional: 15.6' is the optimum, but larger is fine, 2-in-1 case, back-lit keyboard.
1. What is your budget?
Up to $1000, but around $850 would be best
2. What is the size of the notebook that you are considering?
No less than 15.6'
3. What screen resolution do you want?
Doesn't matter
4. Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop?
Desktop
5. How much battery life do you need?
Doesn't matter, most of the time I'm plugged
6. Do you want to play games with your laptop? If so then please list the games that you want to with the settings that you want for these games. (Low,Medium or High)?
I don't play much. I play Tanki X, Civilization series, and rarely Need for Speed
7. What other tasks do you want to do with your laptop? (Photo/Video editing, Etc.)
3D modelling, handling 40+ tabs in Chrome, and writing HUGE documents (300+ pages with images)
8. How much storage (Hard Drive capacity) do you need?
Dual drive
128 GB SSD (NVMe)
500 GB HDD
9. If you are considering specific sites to buy from, please post their links.
None
10. How long do you want to keep your laptop?
As long as possible (at least 5 years)
11. What kind of Optical drive do you need? DVD ROM/Writer,Bluray ROM/Writer,Etc ?
None
12. Please tell us about the brands that you prefer to buy from them and the brands that you don't like and explain the reasons.
In Egypt, popular brands are HP, Lenovo, Toshiba, Acer, ASUS and Dell, so these are the brands that I will be able to deal with for repairs or parts, but I don't mind other brands if they are reliable
13. What country do you live in?
Egypt
14. Please tell us any additional information if needed.
It is very hot here with a lot of dust, so it is preferable to have a decent cooling system
A 2-in-1 case would be nice if possible since I do a lot of drawing as well
A back-lit keyboard would be nice since I'm a night owl
Thanks
