[QUOTE="user 997, post: 907215, member: 997"] I can definitely recommend a workstation type laptop like the Lenovo Thinkpad P51 or newer P52. They occasionally pop up on Carbonite and can be had for great prices (<R15k). I bought a demo Thinkpad P51 for work last year (software development and analytics) and while the Nvidia Quadro GPUs are generally running a generation behind their Geforce counterparts they are still pretty decent for gaming. The Lenovo workstation laptops have a very solid build, so they will last through the wear and tear of being shuffled around campus all day, the battery lasts a long time and it remains quiet under load and doesn't lose performance when doing heavy workloads for a period of time. They are also upgradable to 64GB of memory if you ever need that much, but it is great for running memory intensive programming frameworks or if you need a virtual machine or two to run. The 3-year warranty is also a great bonus compared to commercial and gaming focused laptops that typically come with a 1 year warranty only. [/QUOTE]
