So, I want to buy another gaming laptop. I’m coming off of an Asus G53SW, which was brilliant except for the power pin which kept breaking. Eventually, it got way too frustrating to RMA my laptop so much so I decided to get another one.
My minimum specifications are as follows :
Core i7
8 GB RAM
nVidia 660 or higher
500 GB HDD (I don’t mind not having an SSD)
The laptop must be well built and mustn’t break as easily as the Asus did
It should also not be too heavy because I tend to change workplaces. It doesn’t need to be ultraportable. Just enough to carry it to another building without tiring me out. 14-15 inch laptops are usually fine.
My current choices with all the associated thought processes are as follows :
1. Alienware M14x – It’s small, pretty powerful for its size, is known for really good build quality (and also has a power connector that’d be very hard to break through daily use lol) and, let’s admit, looks really pretty. The problem is that the screen isn’t 1080p, it has a slightly weaker GPU than usual and is kind of pricey.
2. Sager NP9130 – I hadn’t heard of these guys for a long time, and I know they serve a very niche market, which is why I’m slightly unsure about buying from them because I don’t know much about the overall build quality of these laptops. However, they pack a brilliant punch in their laptops.
3. MSi GE60 – This one seems like a really good option too. It’s the cheapest of the lot, and still packs a massive punch in a pretty good package. However, people have raised issues about it’s build quality. It also happens to use the same power connector as the Asus I’m leaving.
Any help and suggestions are welcome! Thanks in advance!

I know for some of you this might be a silly question, but my parents have different thought processes then me. I have an interview with a venture capital firm on Wall Street coming up and am excited about it. My parents on the other hand think I should go on to future education which I have been offered a full tuition waiver through my professor. Granite this school is not where I really want to go anyways. My professor has a lot of friends at more prestigious schools though and said to me, do you want to go to this school; I can talk to my friends there for you. One is an IVY school and the other is a close to IVY school. The thing is, this degree is not an MBA, but would give me more knowledge on the venture capital industry I am interested in. If I went to one of these schools I could potentially get into one of the IVY business schools. Or I could say these educational opportunities are of no interest to me, and I can try and make my bones at this job if I so happen to am lucky enough to get accepted after the interview. The interview will go well if they ask mostly questions about my scientific background and work experience related to their investment niches.
