Hey anons. I'm looking to buy a laptop.
My desktop has an AMD 8350 and a GTX 970. I'm looking for a laptop ~$1000 or less that I can throw games at. I'm not looking to run GTAV on the thing, since I do have my desktop. But I'd like if I could dev on it (gamedev).
I haven't kept up on laptop specs, so I'm not really sure where to start. I was considering getting something with an i5 and 940m, but apparently the m models are all extremely slow compared to their desktop couterparts? I'm wondering how much slower, etc.
Help me out here, /g/
Oh, and I'm looking to dual boot Windows and Linux, probably either Ubuntu, Mint, and possibly triple boot for SteamOS (I need it, to ensure builds run on it).

What kind of dev are you that you have to ask 4chan for advice? Oh wait.
A game dev.

I own one. My peenor is satisfied.
No memeing but I think a macbook pro or air wouldn't be a terrible choice. It's a solid laptop and you can use the big three operating systems and it has lots of dev support. Also I don't really see a point in dual booting ubuntu and steamos. They're basically the same thing under the hood.

One who doesn't have time to shitpost on /g/ all day about meaningless stuff. It's my job to make games, not to stay up to date with the latest memes.

Not really looking to own a macbook. I've had one from a previous job and it was a pretty awful experience all around (I did triple boot).

Reviews on newegg are pretty bad for it. Any other suggestions? Also looking for something that's 17", not 15"

This is the actual model that I own. I don't see any negative review about it.

i would recomend geting at least a 960m, i have a gayming with an 840m and it runs fine, in 720p. Also dont spect much battery life out of then. Go look up for reviews, they are everywere on the internet, /g isnt tech suport
