I will need a laptop for uni and I thought you guys could give me some tips on good brands/models. I want it to have at least 16GB of RAM, preferably a newer generation of i7 and dedicated NVidia graphics. The bigger the screen is the better. I don't care too much about the battery but I would like to have a few USB type A ports and some HDMI/DP outputs. The maximum price (shipping included) should be around 1000 - 1200€

Sounds like you need a Thinkpad or gaming laptop.

I'm in a flow with some work ATM (got a text so taking a quick break lol) but I'll look some stuff up and give you my two cents in just a bit.

@Stuxnet so? :D

@D3add3d Uhhh fitting all those in that price range seems a wee bit excessive.

I've found a Razer laptop that has the RAM and CPU, but not the graphics card. (Plus it only had a 256 of 512 gb SSD.)

Alienware and Thinkpads all get the range of $1500.

A Dell XPS 15 that meets your requirements (but again, only 512 gb SSD) is $1,500+ as well.

You're probably going to have to sacrifice on some of the specs or increase your budge somehow. The two are not cooperating with each other lol

well... I found Asus and Acer notebooks on Alza.sk fitting all the requirements and price range

If money is not an issue; a MacBook can run the Apple specific stuff, plus you can use a virtual machine for Windows specific stuff.

I usually don't recommend these, as they are useless if you don't take advantage of the Apple stuff. Well, not useless, just not worth the price.

I'm getting one because I want to compile code for the iPhone and iPad. The new ones should be announced in the coming month.

@ODXT I am more of a Windows + GNU/Linux dual-boot guy and I absolutely hate Apple. And yes, money is an issue, ideal price is <= 1000€ but I can go for 1200€ if the price/performance ratio is really good.

@D3add3d
Well I'm not up to date on laptops. But a year or two ago, I got a gaming laptop for my brother. Here's the link. You might find some newer.

Dell Inspiron i7559-2512BLK 15.6 Inch FHD Laptop (6th Generation Intel Core i7, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD + 8 GB SSD) NVIDIA Gaming GeForce GTX 960M https://amazon.com/dp/B015PYZ0J6/...

@ODXT oh BTW, watch this :D https://youtube.com/watch/...

and tell me if you would recommend an Apple product again

@D3add3d
Seen it. I actually hate Apple, but I have to be honest about their tools. Some people actually have some use for them. I want to hit that market, therefore I'll need a MacBook.

Other than that they're overpriced, incompatible with a ton of software, and their hardware is overrated.

But again, a person can find it useful, depending on their use-case.

If the laptops for uni, better care about the battery, mate.

Also, check out this page: https://youtube.com/channel/...

@dtaposh there are electrical outlets ALL OVER the uni building, the building is designed for IT students so an outlet is never further than a power adapter with a cable of average length can reach... so, no I won't care about battery at all. Heck, I don't even need a battery :D

@D3add3d if that's the case, then you should be able to get a decent gaming laptop with a 1050Ti (maybe even 1060) card and the other specs you mentioned.

@dtaposh and that's exactly what I am getting :)
