Help me decide which to buy
Budget: €1200 (i could strecth it a bit by going up to 1500)
Country: Italy
Use Case: Gaming and University
Hi everyone, I'm new to this sub and the world of gaming laptops.
Let me start by explaining my use case: I'm a nuclear engineering student, I use relatively heavy software for various simulations (mainly Ansys). I'd also like to use the laptop for my desktop workstation, using a hub to connect it to peripherals. I'd like to play some AAA games, but I'm not looking for the highest graphics settings.
My goal is to have a portable, resilient workstation that will last me for at least the next 5 years and that has enough power to drive two external monitors (Full HD) while I work both at university and at home.
I think I'd like to get my money's worth, and considering the models available in my area (Italy), I think the LOQ 15IRX10 is the most sensible (cost/hardware ratio). I'd upgrade the RAM in the future (as soon as I find a sensible deal).
If you have any suggestions, I'm very interested in hearing them. I hope I haven't broken any sub rules. This is my first time posting here.
