Hi everyone,

I made a mistake in buying a laptop like 2 yrs ago (I thought I could upgrade certain parts ), but it was ok because I was not running demanding applications.

I would need this laptop here mainly for audio production (Ableton Live), a little video editing (maybe Premier Pro) and some casual gaming (GTA I guess? ). To put it into perspective, something that has good specs and can run demanding programs.

I dont mind if its a HDD because I will need lots of storage.

With that in mind, I also want this laptop to be portable and I can bring it along where I go without feeling like I'm carrying rocks in my bag.

Ideally, I would prefer my budget to be around 4.5k but not exceeding 5k.

Thank you.

Lenovo Thinkpad E450 i7 fits your requirement nicely and you can top it up to 16GB Ram and still be below your budget

Oh geez, Ultra Low Voltage i5/i7 is a no-no for me. I am having a bad experience with it regarding performance issues.

Well, it doesnt have to have such good battery life as I will mostly charge somewhere and use it.

Em..... got 1 unit Alienware 15 i7-4720hq, 16gb, gtx 970m, 1tb, 1yr pro support.. but rm5800....

Wat was ur old laptop... may can trade in

Exceeded my budget...
The laptop I'm using now is a HP Pavillion something (I forgot teh model) running i5 4200u. I;m not sure you would want to have it traded in , it really is weak.

Did a little searching, I think I would settle for MSI's Apache GE62 6QC, specs wise. Should I go for MSI or other brands?

Tat 1 i oso got.. problem is aftersales not so good.. i can trade in tat 1... pm me

Dell 7559, i5 6300HQ, GTX 960m, 4gb Ram, 1tb hdd

You can add ram & add m2 SSD, you will fly on using application.

His budget can go 7559 i7 de..

I also have that shorlisted. Only thing is I'm not sure if I should trust the Dell brand . I had bad experience before with Dell be it desktop or laptop.

Anyway, still open to more suggestions.

U dunno how to. claim warranty rite... we claim parts for fun 1

I oso dun trust Dell until i learn how to abuse the onsite warranty.. haha
