Best $1300 laptop? 4 choices, help me pick one!
Last response: in Laptops & Notebooks
Hello Forum. ( This is my first post after reading TH for over 8 years... ![:)]( ":)")
)
I am replacing my trusty Inspiron 8500 that has served me faithfully for 7 years.
My needs are a CAD capable (powerful Graphics card), Multimedia machine. Reliability is key as I am moving to East Africa and thus Tech support will not be convenient. The laptop should be somewhat "future-proofed" (will be my main PC for the next 4 years). Battery life is not a deal breaker as this beast will not be moving from my home often (I am purchasing a 13" CULV for that purpose).
Minimum Spec requirements are: Corei5, 17.3", 1 GB Dedicated GPU
My choices are:
ASUS G73JH (Best buy Spec)
Sony VAIOVPCF136FM/B (Best Buy Spec)
New Dell XPS17
HP Envy 17
The ASUS G73 is looking like the best deal, but from what I gather from my web searchs, it is not a very reliable machine.
