Hi guys, I need some opinion about getting a new laptop. My budget is only $700 but Im willing to pay $800 if theres a deal that makes sense. Im looking to get a 15" with preferably 1920x1080. I made this so I can compare the different options:
I am a college student and will mostly be using this laptop for Photoshop so I know that CPU and RAM are more important. However, my first question is how important is a dedicated GPU? I play games here and there but its not the primary focus. On this list you can see that Costco has really good deals on laptops that come with i7 4710HQ and lots of RAM but they all have Intel integrated graphics.
Should I sacrafice CPU and RAM and pay a little more for an Nvidia card?
Also should I be considering SSD as well? I know I can switch that out but thats another cost I will have to cover.
I have not yet looked into battery life or other minor things, but Im guessing those are not as important. Im also waiting for the blackfriday sale so the prices on the list will probably change?
Thanks guys
