I'm a graphic designer in college on my 3rd year and I'm now in the market for a really, really good laptop as a desktop replacement. I was looking at Alienware systems and then I read negative reviews about their laptops and service so I found out about the Sager laptops. I was impressed by the looks and performance of these laptops. I am now very close to buying a system and will probably go with the NP9262. Here's what I plan on using it for.
- Some Crysis, Call of Duty 4, hardcore gaming
- Graphic work such as Adobe Photoshop CS3, Illustrator CS3
- Website Design, Adobe Flash CS3, Animation, Dreamweaver
- 3D renderings, 3D Animation,
- Music, Watching DVD's, Burning,
- Downloading from the internet extensively
- Recording music through mic (Classical guitar) Creating CD's of my Music
Needs -
- Large Screen 17" will be good enough
- Lots of Ram (preferably 8 Gigs)
- Dual Graphics Cards (highest quality available)
- Glossy Screen
- Windows Vista Ultimate
- HDMI, External LCD monitor outputs
- High resolution
- Best Warranty, including 3 yr, onsite parts and repair. (the $450 warranty is what I chose
Now I am not sure if I've mentioned everything I want in it but here's my budget: $5500.:D I literally want the best I can get for that much. I just wanted some good advice from anyone who wants to be of help to me and it will be very much appreciated. I also am going with the fingerprint recognition software thing too for password protection. I thought that was pretty cool. ;)
Since I'll be using this computer for all my computing needs It will have to last and stand up to daily use. I don't mind if it weighs 15lbs because I won't be transporting it much. What I want to avoid is buying a lower end system and then wishing I would have bought the higher end stuff that I was originally wanting. I'm thinking I'll go with 8 gigs of ram because It can't hurt to have more than you need.
I even looked at Apple Macbook Pros but those didn't appeal to me since I've been a PC user since I ever first had my own computer. I live on campus so I need to be able to bring my computer (laptop) home without lugging a desktop pc all over the place. Thanks for your support and advice :)
P.S. I love XoticPC.com They are a great Site!
