Vyper for data science and light gaming?

Hi all,

Looking at a new laptop that allows me to query and do other fancy stuff (python, R, SQL server etc...) with fairly large data sets/db's and create some pretty graphs, as well as some intense footy manager.

Budget is £1k tops.

Feel like i've done overboard on the specs given my work laptop is nowhere near as good as this so happy to hear if anyone has any advice on this. Noticed there's a lack of display ports and i normally work on 3 monitors, not a deal breaker though.

can I ask why you've gone for 2400mhz RAM as opposed to 2666? No aggro in the question, I actually wondered if you thought it might cause overheating or if it was a bad match with some other component... I'm looking at almost the exact same spec as yours so was curious

Just cheaper to be honest ha.

The spec looks very solid. I suppose the obvious saving would be to drop the SSD to 256gb, depending how much space you need.

Cheers for the reply, ideally would need a decent amount of storage so going down to 256gb ssd and getting a larger hdd might be worth it.

A 250gb 970 Evo + 1TB HDD is only £4 cheaper than a 500gb 970 Evo on its own. If 500gb is enough for you, stick to the larger SSD and you can always add an HDD down the line if required.
