Hi all,
I'm after a laptop for playing eve, I'm not looking for big fleet battles etc, just normal Eve low sec PVP, FW, standard things. I dont really want to spend a fortune, but I'm confused to hell and back with what will do it!!
1 . Lenovo Yoga 500-15ISK 80R6
Intel Core i5 (6th Gen) 6200U / 2.3 GHz ( 2.8 GHz ) / 3 MB Cache
8 GB DDR3L
1 TB HDD / 5400 rpm
2Gb NV840 graphics
Touch Screen (not for eve but nice)
2. Lenovo Yoga 500-15IBD 80N6
Intel Core i5 (5th Gen) 5200U / 2.2 GHz ( 2.7 GHz ) / 3 MB Cache
8 GB DDR3L
1 TB Hybrid Drive ( 8 GB flash ) / 5400 rpm
NVIDIA GeForce 920M - 2 GB
Touch Screen (not for eve but nice)
3. HP Envy 15-ae103na
Intel Core i5 (6th Gen) 6200U / 2.3 GHz ( 2.8 GHz ) / 3 MB Cache
12 GB DDR3L
2 TB HDD / 5400 rpm
NVIDIA GeForce 940M / Intel HD Graphics 520 - 2 GB DDR3L
They do go up in value from 1 to 2 (+-ú100) 2 to 3 (+50).
So what do you think I'm limited to were I can buy so these options unless I spend over -ú800 which I dont want to.
Please help ASAP!

For games always get the best graphics card that you can, so yes make sure you get the Nvidia GeForce 940M. Everything else is more than sufficient.
The game is online, so if you're traveling you'll have to rely on wifi hotspots, but you should also consider having a cellular hotspot like this one. So that you can connect even if you don't have access to a free wifi. |

I'd also suggest looking at MSI. They make excellent laptops and the one I have (GS70) is also very thin and light for a 17-inch laptop, yet still very powerful. It can easily run EVE at max settings. |

I just bought a Dell Inspiron 11 6th generation i3-6100U 11.6" to take with me to fanfest and for times when traveling with the MSI apache I own is unfeasible (trains, smaller planes)
I have played around with it at home, with low settings and post processing off I can get a very respectable stable 60fps almost all the time, and 30fps in fleets (Cormorants of course).
The new 6th generation intel integrated graphics can play eve well all the way down to the N series Celeron equivalents

"work" huh.
But yeah out of these three, take the HP. Touchscreens are overrated anyway. Not sure if you really want a 15" laptop though. You also might find something with a 760m gfx card, which will be better for gaming even though it's an older generation.

That is the beauty of the 6th gen Intels, under 4 pounds (2kilo) and smaller than a piece of standard copy paper :D
But unless you are going to try and play The Division on it, you are fine. I load mine with Rocket League, Civ V, Eve Online, Gal Civ III and my "work" stuff :D |

Pretty much anything new will play eve even at high graphics. But if you want to have the graphics high you will need to worry about heat dissipation. My Asus Prime ultrabook can play at high, just not for long because ultra-books have minimal heat dissipation.
There are actual gaming laptops. I have a GS60 since I spent the last 5 years as a sailor and needed something portable. The GS60 is actually a bit too thin so I wouldn't recommend it specifically.

I second the ASUS ROG line.
I used to have the best Alienware on the market and it was garbage. After 3 replacements, Dell let me return it for a refund. I bought an ASUS ROG laptop and not only does it look great, it runs anything beautifully and was only $1,500.
I love it.

I have the HP Envy. It's fine for EVE.
Also - it has a sneaky internal M.2 slot for an SSD that you can use. I bought a Samsung 950 Pro and it slotted in fine without any hassle.
Putting the operating system on there made the whole thing fly along.
Laptop's without SSDs are rubbish IMO.
