RoomScape Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Not going to build my own and I want to stay around $2k. I've seen some MacBook Pro's, but I prefer Windows 7 laptops. I was looking at some Lenovos and even the Dell XPS 15. Don't suggest me Macs, please. I already looked into them and am looking at Windows 7 Laptops right now. Casual use but I'd like something strong where it won't be lagging if I play am occasional game or watch a movie. I usually multi task a lot also so I need something that won't lag.

I also noticed the XPS 15 has a 3200x1800 resolution, I don't suppose you were looking for a high resolution display? I typically advise against that on anything but a desktop due to the severe lack of performance it will result in, even on the highest end laptops.

I don't really need a gaming laptop since I don't even play games, I just want a strong laptop so it'll last me a while. I'd forget not to have a gaming laptop, though.I'd prefer HD screens since I'll more than likely end up watching videos.

In which case I would recommend the Dell XPS 15, albeit a strange resolution, it's divisible by 4 meaning you can render games at 1600x900 and upscale without any issues for gaming if need be. Though I'd imagine higher than 1080p is useless for the majority of media right now, it will be good for any workflow and multitasking situations.

The smaller form factor will make it naturally more portable, but the display will be significantly more crisp while retaining the 3200x1800 resolution. Idk about you, but I find IPS panels irreplaceable and fortunately the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro has an IPS display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't need super res, just something nice - but I guess that's basically standard on everything these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally would suggest high resolution displays as well, especially if you're not gaming which usually limits you to 1080p or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had past laptops with bad battery life and it was annoying having to have them be plugged in all the time. Also, I don't really game so I don't need a gaming laptop... Just a casual one with some good specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
