[NBA] Looking to buy a 'Work' Laptop

[devilscallmedad]

Hi Guys I am looking to buy a new alptop for work related purposes and would like some advice on what to buy. Here are some functionalities i am looking for

- Strong processing power and RAM, I would mostly be using it for softwares/simulators such Matlab, Virtual Box, VMWare, Mininet, Omnet++ etc.
- Do not need any strong graphics capabilities (use my pc for gaming)
- And obviously I would like something that doesn't heat up too much, has a decent battery and not too heavy to carry.

Budget: Rs. 45,000-50,000

HP Probook is a pretty nice work laptop. It looks nice and has the standard specs you'd expect from such a series.

Sorry bro no offense but HP Probooks are mainstream crap series. Go for the Pro series like Envy or Dell highly recommended Business Series Latitude. Good Luck

Envy is expensive. Latitude is... isn't it extinct already?

With Probook you'll also have Dell's local warranty. Best option? Go to some good shop and check out the laptops there. Pick then (go with a list in mind)

Thanks for the suggestion guys, Lenovo g580 sounds like the best one for more requirements.

Good luck! Do post about your experience with the Lenovo.. Never used one.
