Hi, I am looking to buy a new laptop as my current one is not working anymore as I have had it for 6+ years. I really need a good laptop that can help me with University work as well as Machine learning and Deep Learning with occasional gaming. I have built a laptop below but I don't know if it's the best build, if anyone with expertise with Machine learning can help me with the build I would appreciate it. Also, would I be able to get a student discount?

You should be able to transfer your Windows Licence from the old machine and that will save a good few quid. PCS do not do discounts as a rule but no harm in asking them, although that would have to be via their email or phone, this is just a user's forum.

What is your maximum budget as that will help in making suggestions.

I'm very sure there are no student discounts available at PCS. You'd need to go to an overpriced vendor like Dell to get that :cool:
