Question17", Quad Core, 8+MB - Options? Pin
M-Badger22-Oct-12 23:38

It's pretty easy to find 15" quad core laptops with anything up to 24MB but 17" is harder to come by. Asus sill supply the N75 but you can only get it with dual core (in the UK), their 15" equivalent N55 has been superseded by the N56 which does have quad core options but the 17" hasn't had the same upgrade yet (and by the reviews I've seen the Nx6 versions have better build quality to boot).

Dell supply a 17" consumer quad core laptop with 6MB (4 + 2), requiring a manual installation of a replacement 4MB memory module to get the 8MB, and they have a business version with 8MB as standard.

After that you have to look at gaming laptops which tend towards £1500.
The most demanding tasks I'll use it for involve Visual Studio, the occasional linux / Virtual Box session, maybe some GIMP work plus the other usual stuff, browsing, e-mail plus very occasional gaming.

Anyone got any recommendations?

Thanks,
Mike
