Hey guys,
you might've read that my old laptop's screen died. I went to repair with it and they said that if I would let it get repaired, it would've cost me a minimum of €160,- (maybe even more) which I think is too much for a 2,5 year old laptop of €570,-.
So I'm planning on buying a new one in the price range of €600 - €800.
Currently, I've found of a couple alternatives, but the following is on my top 1 list:
I'm planning on using the laptop for both daily use (internet, microsoft office, youtube, etc.), but for my studies I will also need to have a little more power for programs such as Photoshop, SQL Management Studio, Visual Studio, Microsoft Excel (billion-data-worksheets including macro's/formula's), PowerBI,, etc.
But I occasionally also want to play some games, most of them aren't very demanding (such as Minecraft, GMod and older CODs), but I've also got GTA5 that I'd like to play. I guess with the combination of CPU, RAM and GPU would be suffificient to play GTA5 on low/med-settings, right?
So, any tips? Other suggestions?
Am I making a good call with this laptop?
Thanks

Asus A555LB-DM297T
€729,-
CPU: Intel Core i7-5500U, 2,4GHz
RAM: 8GB
HDD: 1TB, 5400rpm
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GT940M, 2GB
Res.: 1920x1080p (15,6" screen)
OS: Windows 10, Home
For the price of €729,- I thought these were some pretty good specs, but I'm not an expert, so any feedback on price/quality-ratio?€729,-
