Hi,
I have never really been into laptops and I am more of a desktop guy. However I require a laptop for uni as advised by my tutor to be. (I am aware this is simplymaya and not simplymax, max site just seems dead comapred to here)

I will be doing a course which requires 3D Studio Max and was wondering if anyone can help point me in the right direction for a laptop that is suitable for a student that isnt over the top high in specs.

probably look at:
1gb or 2gb memory
1.8ghz (dual core if possible)

Fair enough those sort of things are the same specs as you would get in any desktop PC. Its the graphics cards I am stuck on. Trying to find a card that is powerfull enough for multipurpose application. such as graphic work within 3D Studio Max and then also playing games and other general usage.

I have been on https://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk and I know for fact that some of their high end spec laptops at about £1,500 will work fine. But I would like to know if there are any others that could do what I want that isnt so costly.

Thanks in advance,
Michael
