I am currently taking MBA in university and am working with a lot of spreadsheets. I pretty low vision and my current laptop is a 15.6 inch hp with touch screen. I don't really use the touch functionality and frankly it is a nucense because a professor will come over to show me something and touch the screen and end up messing everything up. I want to go 17 inch so that I can see more of the spreadsheet at once with the increased DPI scaling I have set to make it easier on my eyes also I am looking for one with a matte screen so it isn't really reflective. I may game on a rare occasion while on vacation home as I will not have my desktop rig with me. So Ideally I would have a lower end geforce or radeon discrete GPU to play games at acceptable framerates at 720p.
This is what I currently have my eye on for a replacement
Acer Laptop Aspire E5-774G-52W1 Intel Core i5 7200U (2.50 GHz) 8 GB DDR4 Memory 256 GB SSD NVIDIA GeForce 940MX 17.3" Windows 10 Home 64-Bit - Newegg.com
Current laptop is a hp TS15 with an AMD A10 5745M, radeon 8610g+8670M dual graphics
8GB ram, 1TB 5400rpm HDD.
I am thinking of spending up to 700$ less if possible. And I have to buy a new backpack to carry it since my current backpack only holds up to 15 inch laptops so if you have any suggestions there too that would be helpful.
This is what I have my eye on for a backpack too
