Hi to all,
I haven't been on these forums for a while, but you were all great help last time around, so I thought where better than here. So I'm off to University in October, and I just can't decide what's best: A computer or a laptop
I've become so used to my computer sitting at my desk permanently, that I feel the small screen and lower capability of a laptop will frustrate me to death. I've been looking at mid-high range laptops (£1000-£1500) as it's definitely got to last me four years, but it just seems that what's on the market in laptops 2 years after I built my PC is not as good. I don't want to downgrade.
But does the practicality of a laptop at Univeristy outweigh the negatives?
The only compromise I could come up with was am upgrade to my current PC, with the leftovers going to a 'more-average' laptop. But then it seems as though I'd be left with two average machines, which is downgrading.
Most usage will obviously go towards work, I'm studying Maths and Physics so I think there're programs involved but nothing too strenuous. Gaming: Just a bit of COD, and a lot of WoW (not ashamed!). The odd bit of Photoshop but thats not important.
Just some thoughts of what you guys think would be great.
Thanks.
