KiKaZz74 Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Ok so I went and talked fo my advisor today for college. He recommended with me going into engineering to get a high end laptop. Im having a problem finding much under $1700 for anything halfway decent with what he said Guidelines: Run solidworks fast 16gb+ 1600+ ram 750gb+ hdd hopefully nice 64 128gb ssd Intel i7 or amd a10 High end graphics like gt770+ Good battery. Full hd screen. 17" lreferred but can do 14 15" Backlit keys. Windows 7 64bit preferred I just need to find something cheap as possible with this in mind. I have a 64gb mSATA ssd I can put in if needed. Im just so lost on what to look for at this point. Alienware is only one af halfway decent price offering most of this. I was looking at the new asus g750 but idk. Lemme know what you guys thonk.

Krakin Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Have you considered buying lower end and upgrading what is possible to higher specs? I think gpu and cpu wouldn't fit this category, but stuff like hdd/ssd/ram could. Just a thought on getting better price/performance. Also try hitting up overclock.net lots of really smart tech guys there that might know exactly what you need. Krakin's Home Dipole Project http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186153-krakins-dipole-project-new-reciever-in-rockford-science/#entry2772370 Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist? I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . . What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself but what has drawn your attention in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears, thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.
