15" screen, 7 hour battery life.

15 inch is too big. Get a 12 inch with a 10+ battery life. You'll be surprised at how heavy 15 inch laptops are.

Eh. My current laptop is either 15 or 17. I like the moderate big screen.

Amazon.com: ASUS ROG GL753VE Gaming 17.3" Full HD Laptop - 7th Gen i7-7700HQ Processor up to 3.80 GHz, 8GB Memory, 4TB Solid State Drive, 4GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050Ti Graphics, Windows 10 Pro, Metalic Black: Electronics

This is insane.

A 4 TB SSD.
Like $900-$1500 of the value of this laptop is just in storage.

I'd love a SSD that large. Sucks having just a 256 GB one.

Nice. Your CPU is a bit better than my desktop CPU, and everything else is a lot better than my desktop haha.

Well, the 1060≈970.
But, it's actually better than my desktop too...
Actually I think our desktops are fairly similar, iirc. You, me and Tacos i thinkI think built similar beasts. Except I think Tacos got 2x 970's.

Funnily enough, my math independent study this semester might be what pushes my computer the most this semester.

Matlab or something else?

This one is open to whatever I want to use.

Might end up using Matlab for a physics assignment, though.

Eh, I'm used to carrying too many books.
To be honest, I'm blown away by how light this laptop is.

the-pi-guy · Sep 15, 2018, 02:03 AM

New laptop is so much better than I expected.

The case looks great and very solid. Great hardware, and the cooling system seems solid. Lighter than I expected. Mouse is kinda cool, but eh.

Literally my only complaint is that the charge box is a little big.
