Right now I am running a mediocre alienware laptop (core 2 duo 2.0 ghz 2.5gig ram). Just running BOINC on this laptop heats the processor enough makes it hot enough to cause an emergency shutdown. This is due to a manufacturing (crap) flaw in the design. Thus I want a new one.
Id like to not get another alienware since I feel as I am paying money for a name. But I can't seem to find comparable performance anywhere else. To even get close with the max setting on a mac would costs ridiculous amounts. So I want to know if anyone knows of maybe smaller company or something that sells customizable high performance laptops. I understand I will have to pay for performance, but it should be fair.
What I am looking for:
core i7 or i9 (willing to spend lots here want the most processing power available).
at least 8GB or ram at 1333ghz or better
256 GB SSD (high rpm HDD will work too i suppose)
mediocre gfx
and it needs to be a laptop cause I am still a college student and desktops just don't work too well for the particular dorms I am in.
Thanks
