Good laptop?

[IndorilTheGreat]

So, I'm heading off to college this next fall, and I would love to recieve your excelent opinions on which laptop I should get.

 

Cost is not an issue (preferabally under $10,000 though :confused: ).

 

I am looking for something that will be relatively top-grade for the next 5 or so years.

 

As I will be majoring in engineering, I am going to be doing a lot of CAD (Computer Assisted Design) work, as well as renders, animations, etc. I am also hoping to be able to play games at relatively good quality (and performance), so I will need a good graphics card, lots of RAM, and a very large hard drive.

 

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks. :thumbsup:

 

Cheers,

IndorilTheGreat

Sheesh lol, 10k? You will be able to run astro physics calculations on that sucka!

 

Check out Tiger Direct They usually have some good deals. Low end and extreme high end rigs.

Awesome. I'll check that out.

 

I would prefer to have it be more than a bit less than $10k... Maybe. :P

If you want you could get a laptop designed for CAD, it will play games, but not as good as a gaming laptop. Really depends on how well you want the games to run...and how cool you're gonna keep the thing :tongue: If you get a good gaming laptop, it'll play games and run CAD very well. Unless you're doing some crazy skyscraper or something, a gaming laptop will be perfect for both.
