if you're concern about battery life, try find Dell Latitude 3450 price around 3.5k maybe can get lower than that
the battery life for this laptop can last up to 8 hours with wifi turned on
want more crazy battery life? find Dell Latitude 3340 this one can last up to 14 hours with wifi turned on brows.gif

Hi bro,

my budget was around 2.5k - 3k.
any advise???  sweat.gif

since you mentioned you are a light design user, laptop with i5 should be sufficient for your needs
and add another ram up to 8gb to make your work smoothly or if budget allowed, change hdd to ssd brows.gif

if you still want a laptop with an i7, this is the cheapest one that come with i7

Hi Hi need recommendation for animation student (๑꒪▿꒪)*

Any recommendation?

1. Preferred Brand: ASUS or MSI (strictly no macbook)
2. Budget: 3.8K - 4k max!
3. Usage: maya, zbrush, photoshop, gaming (ark survival, sims 3 20 ep + sp), RENDERING capability!
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 15" - 17"
5. Other preference:
> ram 4gb is enough , will upgrade separately in the future
> HDD + SSD (1TB + 128GB SSD)
> minimum spec is about i7 6700HQ + Nvidia GTX950m ++ series.

actually i like one laptop spec, but the pricing need my organS,
but i'm not that willing to sacrifice my organS for it :V

the laptop model and name is

ROG GL752VW-T4146T
Intel® CoreTM i7-6700HQ Processor
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX960M with 4GB DDR5
17.3” Full HD (1920x1080)
4GB DDR4
1TB HDD
RM4,399

too bad it lack the SSD and the price is a little over my budget.

and i heard that MSI is also not bad,
capable with rendering and animations needs
just that, i not too well known of msi series.

so any recommendation from sifu ;D

i really hope to have the spec above (the ROG one)
just within my budget and some of my needs/preference ;D

thank you for reading to this point !
hope someone help q_q
*
take this one instead
comes with ssd but same price and better graphic card
Asus ROG GL552VW Intel i7-6700HQ, 4GB DDR4 RAM, Nvidia GTX 960M 2GB, 1TB SATA HDD & 128GB SSD, 15.6" IPS FHD RM4.4k

or add another 100 take 7559 for better after sales service
Dell Inspiron 15 7559 Intel i7-6700HQ, 8GB DDR3 RAM, Nvidia GTX 960M 4GB, 1TB Hybrid HDD + 8GB Cache, 15.6" IPS FHD RM4.5k

if you cant increase your budget above 4k, opted for this laptop that meets your spec requirement
Lenovo Ideapad 700 Intel i7-6700HQ, 4GB DDR4 RAM, Nvidia GTX 950M 4GB, 500GB SATA HDD & 128GB SSD, 15.6" IPS FHD RM3.2k

Hi sifus! Need good laptop recommendation as there are just too many choices out there and im too retarded to pick one.
Currently i am eyeing the dell i7 7559. Would like to know if there are any better choices than this. Thanks in advance!

1. Preferred Brand: Any
2. Budget: 4.5k+-
3. Usage: Game development(Unity, UE etc), programming softwares, Gaming (Graphic setting not on high is ok to me), Image editing(photoshop, illustrator etc), 3D softwares(blender)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 15 and above
5. Other preference: VERY GOOD AFTER SALES SUPPORT, Reliable as i will be using this for long long time, SSD and 8gb ram above is a plus,  upgradable (add rams and ssd,etc).
*
there's no others laptop that has a very good after sales support other than Dell
should take 7559 for very good after sales support

I have researched from the recommendations and also added a few. Just need any feedback on pros opinion.

Asus K501U-BDM055T
Asus A556U-BXX189T
Acer V Nitro VN7-572G-57N0
HP Pavilion 15-ab576tx
Dell Inspiron 5000 link compare

To me the Acer V Nitro does have GTX950 and DDR4 but the downside is a slower cpu i5-6200U
The Dell has 8GB ram.
I think all has an extra RAM slot except HP which didn't mention so i am not sure.
All has same processor i7-6500U, GTX940M (i think some stated GT 940), DDR3 4GB. Any Difference in GT and GTX?
So now it comes to weight i believe K501 is lightest then HP, (Dell and Asus A556U) probably around the same.

What do you guys think?
*
why do you concern about graphic card since you're not using for gaming? hmm.gif
what kind of work did you do i mean the software you use for your work? if just typing only, i5 is more than enough
HP has 2 slots ram so you can upgrade the ram
choose k501 if you want the lightest laptop for 15"

Yes, i know. Since my budget is around there and there a few laptop options so i am choosing one with the best bang for buck. Meaning if i can get newer and better specs for around the same price.

Do you know if it is easy to self replace the ram for HP Pavillion and K501? I see the forums on acer vitro and they said it is the hardest to replace and need to go through service center.
*
both of them are quite easy to self upgrade the ram
can see in youtube how to upgrade ram for those laptops
