Hi And Thanks.
I pushed the button - upped the single disk size.
I have not gone for a second disk as anything that will consume a lot of resources will be on the network, or main desktop, etc. As you say, I can easily add one.
Windows Pro - In honest truth it was probably historic reasoning...
So, based on my thinking I am looking at:
(probably overkill, and will probably up the storage as that is not going to change price substantially.)
Chassis & Display
Ionico Series: 16" Matte QHD 240Hz sRGB 100% LED Widescreen (2560x1600)
Processor (CPU)
Intel® Core™ i9 14 Core Processor 13900H...
As suspected, thanks! I was looking at Latife and that was lower resolutions screen but better other specs. And then the iconic range and that was i9 and up...
In short, I was after a i7 ish. 16-32gb (if 16, then a free slot to add later), and good enough graphics for 3d CAD. Virtual machines...
Main questions is... https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/custom-laptops/
Is the initial guide prices for each series a linear expectation of model?
I was looking at the Elimina Pro Series, Intel, but the 720p webcam and things made me think this is a slightly lower spec across the board?
I am not...
Your build does not appear far off. The only compromises i can see would be dropping the RGB lights on cooling -£30, and dropping wifi on the MB -£25. To confirm, were these chosen over the other options for a reason? I have no need for light, and I always hard wire -so...
Thank you both for your response - all incredibly helpful and extends what I need to be thinking about.
Budget wise - understood, I am being unrealistic with my expectations. I can increase this, as it is my livelihood, and what I spend 12+ hours on every day! I don't want to hit 2k for the...
Thanks for the response.
To make sure I am understanding correctly.
The components I originally chose are effectively bottlenecked by the Motherboard, and so I would not get the best out of them. Is that correct?
I notice better MB, faster RAM, faster disk, better cooling, but that the graphics...
1) Your budget (you might not have a budget as such, but you will have an idea of the max you'd like to spend)
Ideally around the 1200 ex VAT place point - but can do more if it brings longer use potential
2) What's the PC / Laptop for (gaming, workstation, heavy VM use, etc.) <-- as much...
