Laptop selection. Who will tell you what?

Question

laptops

Good day to all!
There was a question about buying a laptop.
What you need from it:
The most powerful processor from Intel, a discrete graphics card from nVidia, at least one USB 3.0. RAM… I don’t need much yet — I’ll add it later. HDD at least 250. Screen at least 15.6'' (1366x768 or 1600x900). 17 '' are not needed - I often travel with it, larger dimensions are useless. Keyboard with additional numeric keypad, key layout like here . Get used to it.
OS is not desirable (or Win 7 Pro).

I don’t play games (very rarely), but I need computing power to create music - VST plugins heavily load the processor.

Budget: 22-23 thousand rubles. Looked after Lenovo

Z580, but they say that a keyboard with concave keys is uncomfortable.
Maybe someone will suggest something interesting.

Answer 1

I repair beeches more often than I use them. I support your choice, and it is the Z series. From the recommendations, replace the HDD with an SSD. Save yourself a lot of time and nerves. Put the disk in a USB 3.0 box. Get a fast and reliable system with ample storage. Good luck.

Answer 2

1. ASUS K53SC - slightly more powerful than ASUS K53SM and 8GB frame.
2. ASUS K55VD -Slightly weaker graphics but on Ivy Bridge.

Answer 3

I use ASUS K53SM , the keys are flat, otherwise the configuration is almost the same)

Answer 4

In this budget, I had experience in owning such a device: market.yandex.ru/model.xml?modelid=8216940&hid=91013&show-uid=526991413532357912 only positive memories remained. I used it myself for about 3 months, then handed it over to an employee as a working machine - there are no complaints to this day

Answer 5

I advise you to go to some shopping center and, so to speak, tactilely evaluate Lenovo keyboards, if this is the only complaint.
For me, the saddest thing is that all other manufacturers without exception began to make flat keys - you don’t feel how accurately you hit them.

Answer 6

I would venture to suggest Lenovo Thinkpad t430. Instead of a DVD, you can insert a hard drive or an SSD. There are options with 1600x900 and backlit keyboard. There are options with nvidia card, not smart. Prots 3360M is the most optimal IMHO. If 15" is critical, then there is T530 :)
By the way, there are discounts on shop.lenovo.com now. And if you also use barnes & noble gold, then the discount will be added. True, it certainly doesn’t fit into the budget of 22 thousand. But , these laptops are worth their money :)
