... because I am going back and forth and I cannot decide what to get depending on my needs. And I really need a laptop.
- I will use it for writing, maybe some photo editing, some coding, watching movies, internet for sure, having music at the same time as I have many tasks open.
- I love to play videogames, but with the desktop computer I've realized that I mostly play adventure games, which are a bit processor heavy because of their engines (yes
) but I guess they don't need an nvidia video card. Also, dosbox, indie games, gog games. Anyway, I suppose that if I chose not to have an nvidia dedicated card I would say goodbye to trying Skyrim in a laptop, in case I wanted to do so. I am not one of those guys mad to get 60 fps at all time anyway: I just want to know if I could play the game.
- I suppose that if I don't get a 1080 monitor, I will regret that decision. Correct me if I am wrong, again.
- How much memory is enough? I have 8GB for the desktop one and that seems to have been enough for Windows7. Will I need more for newer Windows OS? Of course I am not looking of needing *less* What is the most memory consuming thing that I could do: video editing? Music?
- Again in the desktop I have a 120gb ssd and a 1TB HD. If I don't get an SSD for the laptop, will I regret it much? I can live without the CD or Blu Ray drive anyway.
- External sound cards are not needed I suppose. Anyway, seeing the lack of USB ports in most of these...
- Oh, yes, processor. I won't go for an i7, that's for sure. But I am a bit afraid of going a bit overkill with the i5 ones. I am a bit afraid as well of the laptop getting really warm, or the battery getting depleted really fast. I will assume, again, these are connected somehow, isn't it? Thinking about an i5 2,9GHz is maybe too much for a general use, or how is the experience with the new Windows10?
- Size. I am looking to something slightly smaller than my previous bulky laptop which is basically desintegrating in a box. Is 14'' enough for a 1080 screen? I am quite interested in the portability, yes.
- Keyboards and touchscreen, anything that I should consider?
In case this is too generic, sorry. In case you answer, thanks
