I am planning to buy a laptop for Work and occasional gaming purpose. After going through various posts, i think Dell XPS 15 or XPS 17 solves my purpose. But Hp Dv6-6165tx looks good too. So, i need suggestions and 60k is the last limit. I cant go above that.
Purpose : Work mostly. Production applications like SIMULINK, Scilab, OrCad, AutoCad-Electrical, Matlab & PSCAD. VMware workstation, Visual Studio, Photoshop and Dreamweaver etc are occasionally used.
Assuming i get time, i would prefer playing high end games like Crysis 2, COD MW3, NFS The Run etc.
Overall Budget: 55K +/- 5k
OS: Win7 and Ubuntu [32 bit preferred]. Most of the software i use for regular work don't properly work on 64 bit systems except Matlab.
Preference: I would like to stick to Nvidia cards as ATI sometimes have driver issues in Ubuntu.
CPU : Intel core i7.
Hard disk : 1 TB or more required. (WD & 7200rpm if possible)
RAM: Since i prefer 32bit OS, 4GB would be enough. I would require 64 Bit OS to use more than 4GB and then i would have to go for a triple boot. :/
USB 3.0: I have a WD MyPassport 1TB USB 3.0 so i want USB 3.0 ports availability.
Time frame: Within 2-3 weeks. If i need to get a custom build, it will take time and i totally understand and can wait.
Thanks in advance.
