New Job, New laptop - spec me a laptop

[PorkRind]

Im after a decent spec laptop primarily for developing java/ abap on but when i'm away on site I want to be able to play the odd game in the evenings, the only problem is I only seem to be able to find laptops with 'Gaming' tagged all over them or garish colours which wouldnt look so good on a client site. Does anybody know of any laptops with a decent spec cpu (i5/i7) 16gb ram, 256+ssd (m2 if poss) and a nvidia 1050ti or above for about £1300...

Gigabyte Aero 14 in black doesn't look too out of place. Has two M2 drive slots and can be had for around £1400.

Asus Vivobook Pro 15?

Slightly over budget but the HP Omen 15 looks like it would meet your two use cases. Garish backlit keyboard but can turn that off

ABAP? Poor bd (and I work for the creators of it! )

It's a difficult one. I'd consider trying for a Dell XPS 15 in the factory outlet, you might get lucky. Otherwise I'd be going for a Lenovo T series for that price for a work horse. Not so great for gaming but support and image wise you can't beat them for a work hack.

There’s a Razer Blade here for £1350. Always thought these look quite cool. I’m sure you can change the lighting to something discrete.

I'm out in Maidenhead. CHP isn't a bad place but I prefer the quieter life out in the sticks
