Hey guys, I'm heading over to the UK for studies this October, and my yenovo y580 a bit cacat aldi, so I'm looking for a recommendation for a laptop, which may or may not exist yet.

Usage: Digital Art, General Uni work, light gaming-

Budget: rm3k +-

Screen size : hopefully 17', at the very least 15' +

Resolution : as high as possible, 1440p is optimal, but can settle for 1080p if need be.

GPU: Not a huge priority, but hopefully can run stuff like dota 2 at 60fps on low-med at least.

CPU: preferably core i7, but can settle for i5.

Storage: SSD preferably, or at least SHDD (cannot tahan OS on HDD anymore )

Battery: Not a priority, will be staying in dorms 5 mins walk from campus, and classes lasts like, 2-3 hours. Not sure if I'll be lugging a 17' laptop to class anyway.

Touchscreen: Not needed, will probably not be used anyways

Keyboard: Hopefully decent travel distance, I like the tactile feel instead of something like a .... well, for comparison dell y7559's keys are too flat.

Weight: I don't mind lugging around a 3-4kg laptop if it has what I need . Basically, not a huge priority. Thickness is also not an issue.

Lan Port: Very much needed

DVD: not needed

USB ports : Preferably at least 3

Hopefully fully compatible with drawing tablet, but then that's an OS thing.

Was considering Inspiron 7559, before the announcement of the Pascal-based laptops (which is way over my budget), and I figured I can live for 1-2 years without hardcore gaming and save money for a desktop for gaming instead )

Well, that's all I actually need,
Thanks in advance

Hmm, seemed to be geared more towards gaming tho, but thanks anyways

Hey sifus, is Dell Inspiron 15 7559 still the best value for money gaming laptop at around rm3500?
I'd wait for a newer model, but I'm going UK end of sept for studies .

Aiyo, then I might have to go to lowyat or online to try my luck.
I'm going Uk at the 1st of Oct, but buying laptop there might be overly expensive.
