Hi gurus
I am starting my uni soon and looking for laptop recommendations. I am doing game developing so main usage will be compiling and rendering and 1 which can future proof me for 3 years throughout my uni course.
Was looking at gaming laptops currently as I'm not sure if normal performance laptop can serve my needs.
This is what I short listed
Asus FHD G75VX-T4072H 2YR
$2,098
i7-3630/8GB/750TB/GTX670MX 3GB DDR5/DVDRW/17.3" FHD
Lenovo Y500 with SLi graphics
$1999
i7-3630 / 8GB / 1TB / 15.6" 1920 x 1080 / DVDRW / Win 8 / GT650 2GB
Free Lenovo 2nd graphics adaptor GT650 2GB. Dual SLi graphics performance of this laptop is between GTX670 and GTX675.
Free Samsonite back pack.
Lenovo Original 2 years global warranty
aftershock xg17
$1780 + $175 Msata 128 ssd
i7-4700mq/8GB/750TB W.D 7200rpm/GTX765M 2GB DDR5/17.3" FHD/windows 8 x64/steel series kana
Prices from pc dreams and pc show 13 aftershock brochure.
Much appreciated is given for all advice!
Edit: I read that right now only aftershock has haswell chips, and in 1-2 months more laptop from international brands with it will start streaming in, is the above statement true?
