I am in the market for a new laptop but have no idea what to get, ideally i'd like it to be a sole machine that i can plug into 30" screen and grind if the fancy takes me. Also not to heavy if possible so it doesnt tilt me taking it away to places. I've always bought Dell Laptops, that seem the best idea?

Should say obviously bigger the screen the better as would like to grind without the monitor as well.

.

I liked my dell with18.4in screen I could get view 6 tables easy with no overlap only problem the bigger the screen the heavier it is

what monitor do you have?

have you tried apple? macbook pro 15inch with perfect resolution lets you grind and tile way more tables than slightly bigger laptops. Thunderbolt screen to go with it is literally perfection for grinding imo.

Macbook Pro is a pretty good choice currently with a 2880x1800 screen. 4K Windows laptops are due in a couple of months which will have 3840x2160, god knows how many tables you could get running on one of those.

This Dell (http://www.dell.com/uk/business/p/precision-m3800-workstation/pd?oc=ca001pm38009mumws&model_id=precision-m3800-workstation) is similar to the Macbook Pro although it outspecs the Mac in a few places. Both are around two grand.

there's got to come a point when the resolution would be too much though.


Imo MBP for travelling around and just have a monitor/docking station at home on the desk. easy

I thought that when I got my first 1024x800 laptop   :)

its just when you 15 table on 1920 1280 the text starts to get quite small as it is.

15 table? This is flushy we are talking about. 800x600 resolution for 1 tabling is going to be fine.

rofl I was just talking in general. :p

ha yeah i'm not going to be 15 tabling or shit, will be 8 max probs on laptop obv more on monitor.

Should have said before i have a pretty strong aversion to macs given that everytime someone has bought 1 you find it annoying as you cant run everything also they have usually paid about 30% more than the equivalent dell, although as middy pointed out they have an apple that lights up which is pretty cool.

I basically went onto the dell website as per usual when buying a new laptop/pc and got very confused, what the hell is a solid state drive? do i need one? lol

I'm currently on a laptop with 1920x1080 on i think a 17inch display, the resolution is not really the issue i just dont want to have my face 2" from the screen when i'm grinding so would rather larger screen than small screen with incred res

Oh and the faster it runs football manager the better

10 times faster/quieter/cooler/better than a normal one and yes.

dell's vip range

recommended that I pass this on to you!

SSD is a must nowadays, it makes your puter MUCH much faster, excellent for improving speed with databases etc.


The auto hate for mac is w/e personal taste, however with virtualisation so easy and much more stable now there is no 'oh I cant run shit' reason to not use them. they also get round the main problem with PCs ie windoze.

don't get windoze 8 it's aids.




And tbf middy is king, he says apple lights up makes them better = that makes them better.

defo get ssd and if you have FM on the ssd it should run like god
just wishing i had waited and put an ssd in my desktop

Dell do ones with light up keyboards if that helps, they're pretty cool

smaller inch screen for portability and then rig up laptop to hotel LED TV
