Hi guys. I am a amateur film maker, and in the market for a powerful laptop.
What's your Budget?
Around 1.1 lakh.
What will be your primary usage for the notebook be?
Video editing, photo editing which means lots of Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects, Illustrator and CorelDraw. Would require fast render times, and also the ability to multi-task extensively. Some sound editing programs such as FL Studio and Reason. Other than this web surfing, music, HD movies and a little casual gaming like COD.
What size and weight considerations do you have?
A desktop replacement in between 15" and 16". As light and thin as possible, but performance is king.
Any brand that you prefer, or any brand that you detest?
Dell, HP and Asus are the favoured brands. No Acer, Sony or Apple. Don't know much about MSI.
Any other considerations?
Full HD resolution, 7200 RPM HDD, minimum 8 GB RAM, i7 Quad-Core preferably Ivy Bridge, battery life of around 2-3 hours will do, Blue-Ray is not required. Being future-proof for at least 2-3 years is very important and should be available in India.
Some laptops I have looked over:
Dell Precision M4600 (i7-2760QM 2.4 GHz, 8GB RAM expandable to 32GB, 750GB 7200 RPM HDD, Nvidia Quadro 1000M 2GB DDR3, 15.6" FHD 1920x1080, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, 6 Cell Battery) - Rs. 1.22 lakh
HP EliteBook 8560W (i7-2760QM 2.4 GHz, 8GB RAM expandable to 32GB, 500GB 7200 RPM HDD, Nvidia Quadro 1000M 2GB DDR3, 15.6" 1600x900, MS Win 7 Pro 64 Bit, 6 Cell Battery) - Rs. 1.05 lakh
ASUS-Automobili Lamborghini VX7SX (i7-2670QM 2.2 GHz, 16 GB RAM, 1.5TB 7200 HDD, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M 3GB DDR5, 15.6" FHD 1920x1080, MS Win 7 Pro 64 Bit, 8 Cell Battery, Blue-ray reader) - Rs. 1.3 lakh
I would be extremely glad for any recommendations or suggestions from the TechEnclave community regarding the above machines and any other model too.
