This one should be sufficient. No need of ROG. Upgrade the RAM
Asus A550JX XX142D Core I7 4720HQ 4GB 1TB 15 6" HD 4GB Nvidia 950M Graphics | eBay

+1
Add a decent SSD for 4-5k.

On the higher side if you are willing to import check this somehow(someone travelling to US)-
Amazon.com : MSI Computer P Series PE60 6QE-031US 15.6" Laptop : Computers & Accessories
~68k

But I guess Asus one will suffice.

 

[rachitrt23]

Guys since it will be bought from a mall i doubt she will find asus laptops. So please suggest in Dell and HP

You said civil engineering softwares.

Let me make you clear
I have Y510p core i5 full wattage
-Autocad - works
-Revit-Rendering takes loads of time-8-10 hrs
-Structural suites - STAAD Pro - will work
-Matlab - barely working.

Now if you proceed with Dell ,HP current lineup,my 3 year old Y510p outperforms them easily.

So revit and Matlab is out of question.

Now if you wan't to go ahead with Dell/HP having U proccy .Go ahead but eventually u will suffer.

Remember if u r into designing softwares always buy full wattage proccy.

Dell Inspiron @ 55k is a foolish buy.
Except screen everything is junk.

Won't suggest Y50 "Revised'" @ 86k because it's way too overpriced.

Word from civil engineer myself don't buy Dell,HP

Anyways u have no option but Dell,HP

Enquire Dell about this model-
Amazon.com : Dell Inspiron i7559-763BLK 15.6" Full-HD Gaming Laptop (Core i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, NVIDIA GeForce GTX960M) with Windows 10 : Computers & Accessories

Again this model is not VFM above 62k

I know man but problem is my friend bought z51 from a mall. But its motherboard got fried and she want a replacement now. They said you can buy any laptop. She doubts she will find asus laptops there.

Are they providing some kind of refund or discount? If yes then how much ?

A good CPU is preferrable for the softwares, designing softwares, which you want to run. Its not like that the ULV processors won't run them, but rendering will take more time

A laptop replacement. And i know a quad-core or a full wattage processor is necessary. But nothing can be done if it's not available. That is why I was asking here so that you guys can suggest some HP or Dell model with quad-core processor because i couldn't find one

Ask her to get an assembled desktop instead, take the reference 50k config from the forum's PC recommendation thread. HP and Dell have crap configs for the budget and your friend isn't interested in buying online.

 

[rachitrt23]

Wish she could. But it's not an option

 

[rachitrt23]

So there's no quad-core cpu from dell or hp in that range?

 

[kunalgujarathi]

Is it possible for you to get a refund?

 

[rachitrt23]

Sadly no

 

[kunalgujarathi]

Do you have a Lenovo Y50 960M in the "mall"?

 

[rachitrt23]

No to lenovo cuz she had a terrible experience with it

 

[SaiyanGoku]

[strike]Ask[/strike] Tell her to forget about the mall and order Asus laptop which anupam_pb gave link to.

 

[rachitrt23]

She has to buy from there. As i told refund. Just replacement

 

[SaiyanGoku]

If it is still under warranty, just ask for full refund since the powerful config you expect isn't available in your budget or in that mall.
