So I decided to move away from my clunky desktop and get something much lighter but equally(almost) capable.
I need it for my work(software dev) and some light gaming.
Here are the specs I compiled so far:
CPU: quad core with hyperthreading, 7700hq, 6700hq but not 8550U since it doesn't boost all cores
Screen: 15 inch matte IPS 1080p or higher
GPU: GTX 1050 Ti or lower
RAM: 16GB or upgradable to 16GB
SSD: 128GB or higher
HDD: 1TB or higher
Budget: up to $1200
Needs to have a cooling decent enough to prevent throttling. Weight is not really a concert unless it weighs 5kg.
And international warranty is a must. I'm not from the US.
Cheers.
