    Help me find the best laptop for what I need.....

    You could consider a Dell Precision 7550 with a Quadro RTX 3000. Very expandable and the weight is not too bad. It also has a MUX switch on the TB3 ports so you can choose to drive them from either the Intel or Nvidia GPU unlike the XPS and Alienware which is Intel only. Gaming is fine with the...

    In The Market For A Desktop Replacement

    The GTX 1070 pairs well with a FHD 120hz+ LCD for on the go gaming. If you choose an Alienware laptop like the upcoming m15 you can use the AGA which is the best current eGPU. It does require a reboot to activate, but then gives close to 100% performance with even the 1080ti when using a...

    In The Market For A Desktop Replacement

    Do you care about the quality of the built in display? The MSI has wider gamut, better response times, and better contrast ratio. It also has a less agressive antiglare coating which makes reading text much nicer. The one downside is that it is a TN panel so it does have narrower viewing angles.

    Best business-grade windows laptop without a gpu

    You won't find many consumer i7 laptops without dedicated graphics, just because the target market for those kinds of laptops are primarily gamers. If you do like the Zbook Studio, I think the config you would be interested in would be 2HU31UT. Its available for ~$1550 new from HP business...

    Best business-grade windows laptop without a gpu

    Dell offers the Precision 5520 in a configuration with a 7440hq (quad core 45w, but no hyperthreading) and no dedicated GPU. Another alternative (and the one I own) is the HP Zbook Studio. It is available with up to an 7820hq without a dedicated GPU. If price is a concern you can try searching...

    Looking for a 1070 powered laptop - not MSI

    I have a Eurocom Tornado F5 which has been working well. Its an MSI chassis, but oddly doesn't use the Nahemic stuff like the rest of their line. It uses desktop Skylake (and soon Kabylake) processors and also has an MXM slot which can fit a GTX 1070 and soon a 150W TDP GTX 1080. The chassis is...

All items include original box and documentation unless noted. Prices include shipping. I am open to offers. Shipping will...

    FS Lenovo Thinkpad P70 Notebook

    I purchased this notebook back in February for work directly from Lenovo but have since decided just to use a desktop + laptop instead. It is in good condition with just a little wear on the trackpad from use. I added the extra 8GB myself. Price: Sold on eBay! Specifications: Intel i7-6700HQ...
