Looking for a powerful machine? Check this list of Skylake 17 inch laptops available on Amazon in 2016.
If you are looking for a performance laptop, to play games, run heavy software like 3d renders, video editors, and do other tasks that require a high level of processing, you will probably find an ideal device for you in this list of Skylake 17 inch laptops on Amazon in 2016.
Why Skylake?
As said in other posts, Skylake is the latest generation of processors developed by Intel, bringing enhanced computing capacity and lower levels of engine consumption. Within Skylake itself, you might find dual core processors like the i7-6500U but also quad cores like the i5-6300HQ (if it ends in “U” its generally a dual core, and in “HQ” it’s a quad core).
Why a 17 inch laptop?
Many people have already opted for not owning a desktop, and instead, they buy a powerful laptop, even if they actually don’t need to move it around from place to place. With the technological advances of the recent years, a powerful laptop can have a very similar performance compared to a powerful desktop, but generally the laptop will cost more.
A 17 inch laptop will be excellent and guarantee you a perfect workflow if you are into using a multitude of software that need a big screen to make your life easier such as (Photoshop, Autocad, Android Studio, Sony Vegas). Having a 17 inch laptop will also let you stream video and watch them at a comfortable distance.
For many people, the greatest advantage of the 17 inch screens are related to gaming, as its obviously easier and cooler to identify in game motions in a 17 inch screen compared to an 11 or 13 inch screen.
