I have decided to buy a good laptop with minimum of 16GB RAM and 320GB HDD.
I request which will be best suited for the purpose defined below.
Budget cannot exceed $400 ( which is Rs.26000)
Purpose:
* Will be running VMWARE Lab environment with mutiples VM s -minimum of 7-10 VMs, Vsphere etc
* Will be running Cisco UCS simulator.
* GNS3 software ( not simultaneously though)
[For those who do not know GNS3 - it is a simulator for Cisco Routers used for doing practice labs for Cisco Networking Examination at Expert level. It gobbles cpu cycles afaik.]
* apart from this it will be used for watching movies occasionaly and MS office, Excel and browsing net, downloading stuff.
Choices:
Note that all the options are sparingly used/ refurbished laptops in excellent working condition.
Also I have Samsung Evo 250GB SSD and will install in them and install the 1TB that comes along with this laptop in the DVD drive bay by removing DVD drive.
