Thanks for all your suggestions.


The notebook has i7 4710 HQ, 8 GB RAM, HYBRID 1TB 5400RPM SSHD(8G),N15P-GX GDDR5 4G


It comes with Win8.1,will make another 2 different partitions one for kali and third one for ubuntu/distro/etc(i would regularly format the 3rd partition to try out and learn new things)


As far as wireless card is concerned it can have either Realtek rtl8723be Or Qualcomm Atheros AR956x,as inquired,Lenovo is distributing anyone on the same model so can have either of the two,though not very much sure on how well are their performance,still digging out.


I appreciate all your efforts here.


Any suggestions guys on the above?

Will be running tipple boot of Win 8.1, ubuntu, and Kali. also a virtual box on the windows side with Kali on that for times when i don't need to reboot.


Thinkpad are good but will not get a 4th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 4710 HQ in that price,need to settle with i5 and much lower RAM.


as per the config. i see this as a beast,but still i am confused.

Thanks for replying,In my case I will practice both kali and building own distro :)


Back to the notebook,yeah I got same response from many others that I can buy any laptop for pentesting,that's true but when you go ahead and actually invest money into it you tend to go for the real beast as you know it will be there with you for atleast next few years,you know how it goes.


I will actually want you guys to please go a bit deep into this,please put your valuable inputs,it would be appreciated by everyone in need.

I am looking to upgrade my notebook by month end.


I need this for pentesting,running various pentesting tools,few VM simultaneously so there is no lag during multitask.


Have seen few notebooks and finally came across recently launched Lenovo Y50,I am planning to go with it.

4th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 4710 HQ, 8 GB RAM, HYBRID 1TB 5400RPM SSHD(8G), 15.6 FHD TN(SLIM), N15P-GX GDDR5 4G, Win8.1,2xUSB3.0, EXTERNAL 9.5MM DVD/RW


The only one downfall I see is that it has the graphics card which is almost waste for me,as a pentester I am not a serious gamer.


Any reviews on that,the machine itself or say its wifi?


Thanks :)
