Hardware geeks...
« on: February 17, 2012, 03:00:50 PM »
...of which I am not really one myself, I only do software... I need advice.

Getting a new laptop for my birthday in a few weeks time and I'm being consulted (for obvious reasons) on what I want. What should I look for, what makes are good ideas, etc? Any advice appreciated. It's going to be my main work computer for Uni, so decent screen size probably needed. Not too worried about weight, preferably not monstrously heavy but I'm not such a midget that I need a specifically lightweight one either. Gaming less important since all my games are old anyway so will run on just about anything.

Priced as such because they are business machines, not simply personal computers. ;)

Alienware.

Because prestige is everything. :P

In all seriousness though, if it's mainly for work you shouldn't need anything fancy and I've found that Rome gets a bit finnicky with higher-end systems. (Don't know why but my Mum's laptop is incredible, runs most things like a piece of cake, but RTW gets all laggy and not very nice at all. Got to turn everything down.)
