Milk Truck Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 As the title says i need laptop suggestions. Budget is 1-2k. The laptop will mainly be used for school and a little gaming. With that said i know a gaming laptop isn't for school, but i want a laptop that will last and that is fast. I've seen the Razar Blade and the msi laptops. Does anyone know anything about them? I know building a laptop is a idea as well, but i'm just curious to see whats out there that may work for me. Thx PS: NOT REALLY LOOKING FOR MAC BOOKS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apaec Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I've got a Sufrace pro 4, it's not bad in terms of specs for its size. I carry it all the time and it's really convenient! When i'm home, I hook it up to an ultra-wide monitor and have all the screen space I need. It's quite pricey though, and if you want to do serious gaming then the specs probably aren't enough. Maybe get a desktop PC and a chromebook? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkedrage Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Second for the surface pro 4 Take it everywhere and it can handle basic games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T H C Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I know you say you don't want a mac, but I have a MacBook with bootcamp installed. Best of both worlds. I run Windows for rs and mac for creative/entertainment purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozeki6 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Just get a laptop that has an quad core i7 (real cores) and a good graphics card. Maybe even a ssd since you have a good budget. with 1-2k you can buy something that can run mostly anything so it shouldn't really be a problem to find yourself.

I have a desktop, so maybe ill look into the chrome book or the surface pro. The reason why i wanted a nice laptop is cause i do travel for work quite often and i can't bring my desktop with me.
