Hi,
So I've been thinking of upgrading for a while now, but was never sure how to go about it. My sister recommended this website to me as she got her PC from here, and advised me to post my specs here instead of buying, but before that, I'll just explain what I need a powerful laptop for. Long story short, I do games development. I am currently developing a game and realised that it had been a few years since I last upgraded and I wanted a more powerful device. Currently I do 2D Projects but I do plan to move to 3D Projects likely before my next upgrade. While I don't do videos often, having the ability to do nice content creation is also important.
In a nutshell, my budget is "Yes". I don't really have a spending limit. I would prefer to go all out rather then not and have to then spend money on another upgrade sooner, I want a device that can last me. While I don't have a limit per say, I'd like to stay within the £2000-4000 range if possible. I guess I can also give some sticking points.
It has to be a Laptop, I move between places frequently enough that I do not want a PC. In terms of Processor, I want a Eight Core at least and something as powerful as an i9. For storage, at minimum I want 1TB SSD, and honestly anything extra I could probably do without. I want this device to last me at least 5-7 years. I would rather not have to upgrade in the near future. The specs are below and I look forward to hearing any feedback.
