The hunt for a new laptop
So I’m in the market for a new laptop!
This is something that’s been long overdue for me. As an internet professional, I believe that it’s very important to be able to go mobile at any time, and truthfully, I haven’t been practicing what I preach. How a person in my situation goes for so long without a laptop of my own (wife has one though) is beyond me.
Even though my PC is very nice (and water cooled), it keeps me confined to one corner of the house and I don’t like that. I’d love to be able to work from the table, patio, or even an emo coffee shop once in awhile. I’d also love to be able to get rid of that mess of cables beneath my desk and possibly turn that monster PC into a third back up server of sorts for the websites.
What I’m stuck on is whether I should go the Alienware / Sager route, or something less? I’m going to have to set a hard number so I don’t end up dropping $2,700+. I know that Acer has some pretty decent LT’s out right now as well that wouldn’t break the bank.
I’d be lieing if I said it was purely for business, as I’m sure I’ll want to game at some point. I’ll need a 17 inch screen, good cpu (intel core i7), solid amount of ram, and a top mobile video card. Any ideas?
