Buying a new laptop

[profOke]

Hi everyone, I will like you to advice me which laptop to buy, I am a student, I use a lot of heavy software such as ANSYS, CATIA, CREO etc. for leisure I play games and do a little video editing. I love laptops with good battery lifespan, I love speed, I prefer Intel processors ( preferably quad-cores i7 ). 15 inches.
Which laptop make and model should I buy?
Thank you.

Sounds like you're in engineering or something related. Check out the Dell Precision line. All but one of them is 15.6 in. They all use Intel processors and have the option of a work station graphics card. Do you have a budget in mind Precisions can get pricy quick

@anonymousdude you are right, I am in Mechanical Engineering ...

That's cool dude. I used to be in Aerospace engineering before I switched over to applied math and comp sci. Anyways do you have a budget in mind for your laptop?

@anonymousdude $500.00 is what I have in mind.
