So I have been thinking about taking the plunge and ordering a new Laptop for gaming and some music work.
After a bit of advice and some tinkering I have come up with a build. Before I commit I wonder if anyone could suggest any improvements or adjustments? Would prefer to get the most out of my budget ideally . I wanted up to date USB options, good sound and enough power to run Civ 6 etc on high. Any advice gratefully accepted.
