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.

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 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.

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

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
