Looking at New Laptops
« on: November 02, 2014, 02:48:49 AM »
So it has been a very long time since i looked at laptops and have finally decided to go ahead and bite the bullet and buy something new.
My core2Duo laptops are nearing the end of their useful life, Running massive 75% overclocks on the GPU and its still maxxed out.

So looking around i am rather confused as to where serviceable laptops went. Everything seems to be integrated to such a degree that if a part fries you are pretty much out of a laptop. I want to be able to take off a cover and replace ram, CPU, fan, heat pipes, hard drives etc. I dont want a SOC mainboard.

What are some brands that have easily serviceable parts, removable batteries and such? Price range is pretty much under 1000 USD or there about.
Screen Size i am rather uncaring, i just dont want to lug around a 20lb desktop replacement thing. i do want full HD or better resolution though.

As far as over all specs go i dont really know what i need...But i have an idea on what i want.
I render things on occasion, run Solidworks, Autcad/Revit, and a few other sometimes demanding design softwares (that are really maxing out my current set up)
I do play games, not anything modern but i do enjoy skyrim and StarCraft2, and i would like to run those on ultra if i could.

I was Looking at the Sager/Clevo NP7338 as it seemed to fit my ideas on what a laptop should be, but i would like other suggestions i guess. help a confused fox?
