Before the gaming community here starts screaming "Holy shit you shouldn't game on a laptop, but on a desktop, you nerd!" I'd like to say that I have a reason behind this. I'm moving into a dorm soon and finally out of my parent's home and need a laptop powerful enough to handle my projects (3d modelling and the such) and some gaming.
I've considered options from Asus, (their ROG line), MSI and Razer already, but they're always a little off for my liking.
The laptop has to be:
1. Discrete looking. (It'll be awkward bringing a huge laptop with an Alienware logo behind it and ventilation fans on the bottom to class)
2. Medium sized, maybe 14-15"?
3. Fancy frills like touchscreen.. I don't need those.
4. I can survive on 500GB of storage, but I'd like 16GB of RAM, since I'll be running things like Photoshop, Illustrator and the such.
5. Budget is around $1500 USD, give or take a little.
EDIT: I'm not one for super flashy stuff, just something simple with a solid build quality.
Many thanks!
