Hey MMOC, my wife and I are going back to school! She's going for 3D animation, and I am going for computer systems tech. These two programs require that we have our own laptops for school, so I am looking to buy two laptops. I have come up with this list below, but I am not limiting myself to these few choices.
I have not yet heard back what they want for system reqs, all I know is they say I need to spend between $1000 and $2000... So not very helpful. Anyone with experience in these areas, or with any of these laptops?
I would like to do some moderate gaming on this laptop when I can, Overwatch on high/ultra for example.
An SSD would be nice, but not something I will go out of my way for.
Does anyone feel like one of these laptops has more bang for its buck than the others?
