Wow. You actually went to the trouble to vote Jp2slow's comment down? I've never seen anyone do that before, unless a reply was intentionally rude or smart assed.

Yeah, was having a bad day, someone scammed a bunch of people at my local bank and had to spend 4 hours getting my account fixed.

But I am sorry if i was rude to anyone.

1Shado do you have any suggestions for a laptop?

Fair enough, does sound like a rough day.

I dunno. I was thinking maybe one of the Acer V Nitro series. But they don't have an optical drive, and may be above your budget.

Or maybe the Dell i7559, if there's one in your price range. I've heard a lot of good comments about them in a couple different forums (including here).

But it's another one without an optical drive.




Unfortunately, I'm more of the MSI and Asus persuasion, and they seem to be the ones that still often include an optical drive.

Msi annoys me because they have a stupid no upgrade policy unless you want to void your warranty. Im eye balling the i7559 but the issues that I have with it are the poor upgrade path, and the extremely poor keyboard and trackpad.

Im still considering it but id like to have a decent keyboard.

Dell runs great discounts from there outlet site , you have to check weekly as stock and prices change a lot . Also if you actually talk to somone they might have what you want not listed on site. http/www.dell.com/learn/us/en/22/campaigns/outlet

As your budget, I will recommend the Lenovo Y700-14 and MSI GL62 for you. MSI has many features that Lenovo doesn't have, but if you are much more spec person, depends on your budget, Lenovo will be better.

 

[Purpletalon55]

I dont like lenovo had a very bad experience with a Y50-70 hinge failure. I found a computer and ordered it.
