Mar 18, 2015 8:45PM PDT

Hey, I am not great with computers so I've thought it's best to ask for an oppionon someone who knows the topic much better than I do.


How much money I am willing to spend on new Laptop: 1500 pounds / 2000-2200 euro


Usage:
I am a Poker Professional I want to be able to play at around 20 poker rooms with program that use mysql to track my hands, with program to resize and scan table all the time, 4 converting programs, another one tracking, music and some other stuff that helps me to play. Also I want to be able to use two additional virtual machines at the same time.

I am playing at 2 screens right now (Laptop + 2nd Screen) but ability to play at third one would be pretty cool.

I am traveling around the world so unfortuantely desktop won't work.

I use my Laptop only for work. I won't use it for playing in newest games on full details with super high graphic qualitty.

What I have to have
32gb Ram, 24 would probably would work but right now I am having a lot of problems with adding additional memory. Even thought I have slots it doesn't work. Laptop see it but it don't use it and on windows 8 I am not able to change anything in BIOS.
Very good Processor - Stuff I use doesn't take a lot of memory BUT I use plenty of them and it acumulate
SSD 256GB - I have it on my current Laptop and I could switch but I want to have everything Preinstaled. I am tiered of wasting my time daily on trying to fix my Laptop.
PreInstaled Windows - It has to work well, I am willing to spend a lot of money on Laptop only because I want something that will work perfect. No memory crashes, no fighting with drivers, no wasting my time on stuff that are less important
Ability to plug in two additional screens - I don't care that much are those two HDMI (if it's possible) or one HMDI and one VGA I want to have abilitty to plug in two
Very good internet card - I need to have perfect internet connection, every internet disconection costs me a lot of money. I am willing to pay much more for perfect card that


What is nice to have
Good Laptop Screen - I spend a lot of the time in front of Laptop. I always have 2nd Screen with me that is pretty good but it would be nice to have good screen as well. I work many hours in front of my Laptop and I want something that doesn't eyes that much....

Quality higher than Full HD - I am willing to pay more for this but I need to know how much more. Not in Laptop Screen but in Pluged in Computer Screen


What I think I don't need

Good Graphic Card - I don't play computer games

I really apretiate any help.
