Hey everyone. Is it possible in 2018 to get a laptop with GTX 1070, USB C Thunderbolt 3 and Windows 7 ????
1. What is your budget? Up to $2000 USD. Would consider higher in special circumstances.
2. What is the size of the notebook that you are considering? 15" or 17"
3. What screen resolution do you want? 1080p (want a sharper screen, but scaling doesn't work well with my older apps.) Want a sharp 1080p, not a low quality 1080p. Actually, my current monitor is 1200p. Wish I could get that again. But will take 1080p.
4. Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop? Portable, please. Tired of lugging my 10 lb Dell Precision M6500. It literally hurts to carry it. Like to go 6lbs or lighter, including power brick.
5. How much battery life do you need? 2 hours or more.
6. Do you want to play games with your laptop? If so then please list the games that you want to with the settings that you want for these games. (Low,Medium or High)? No. I don't play games. But still want GTX 1070 (see below).
7. What other tasks do you want to do with your laptop? (Photo/Video editing, Etc.) I run 3D CAD modelling software (Rhino, SolidWorks). I also do photo rendering - which is GPU intensive (hence wanting the GTX 1070). Open to an older equivalent, close to 1070 perfromance as possible. IF it can also be VR ready, that is a big plus (but not required). I will also be doing video editing. (Farily light, not feature length films or anything like that).
Or, if it had a Quadro card, but with TB3/USBC port for eGPU later.
8. How much storage (Hard Drive capacity) do you need? 512 GB to 1TB is fine.
9. If you are considering specific sites to buy from, please post their links. Open to any.
10. How long do you want to keep your laptop? 2-3 years or more.
11. What kind of Optical drive do you need? DVD ROM/Writer,Bluray ROM/Writer,Etc ? None, I have an external one.
12. Please tell us about the brands that you prefer to buy from them and the brands that you don't like and explain the reasons. #1 would be Apple. But they simply don't offer the hardware I need. Prefer: Dell. Don't like: HP, Lenovo
13. What country do you live in? USA
14. Please tell us any additional information if needed.
Much prefer Windows 7 Pro. Also, I have thousands of dollars of older software purchases that run on Windows 7 and not Win10. (would cost thousands to "upgrade" to the version that run on Win10. With no other real benefit.
16GB RAM would be nice. But I've been using 8GB this far with no real problems.
I would love to have a Thunderbolt 3/USB C connection for eGPU later.
Or even a Thunderbolt 2 connection would work.
Need an SD card reader built in.
I looked but couldn't find.
Is it possible?
Thanks!
