Looking for a working laptop - ~1000$

[mushon89]

Hey there!

Been looking for a 14/15" working laptop, mainly for:

• 
  Photoshop
  Autocad
  Sketchup

Heard recommendations for:

• 
  i7 HQ
  GTX 960M ~

Have seen mainly Lenovo Y700's that meet the requirements, would like to hear about any other suggestions.

Thanks!

I really like the Asus ROG. Thinking about getting myself one although I do not need it

Hey, thanks for the input.
Seen some of them, wondering whether there are any that are not "designed" for gamers?

Yeah they'll all have at least a 950 or 960. It's hard to find a good production laptop that doesn't come with a mid-ranged video card.

Asus's GL552 meets that criteria, though it is designed for gaming (http://www.laptopmag.com/reviews/laptops/asus-rog-gl552)
Dell's Inspiron 15 7000 uses AMD graphics, but it's pretty good for the money (http://www.laptopmag.com/reviews/laptops/dell-inspiron-15-7000)

Obviously, if you want to do CAD work, the best choice is to get a workstation-class laptop with Nvidia Quadro graphics, but you're talking about spending at least $1,500 for something like that. Amongst light-weight workstations, we really like the Dell Precision 5510 (http://www.laptopmag.com/reviews/laptops/dell-precision-5510)

Have you thinkers about MSI's workstation. It is designed for the photographics and modelings! It could definetly meet your requirement.
