Which should I get???
Im looking to buy a new laptop that will pretty much replace a desktop, but what I need is this:
at least 1 gig of dedicated GPU, 4gb of ram, and I want to be able to hook it up to a desktop monitor and be abel to play video games on it! so it has to be pretty decent. I will be using this computer for multi-tasking over long periods of time, gaming, possible Dj'ing, also for image editing like CS3, sound editing, watching movies, and also for just browsing the web. When not mobile, I will have a mouse and keyboard monitor set up at my desk for when I am gaming or doing important work. So basically I guess you could say that It will kind of be like a computer tower for me. I was looking at MacBookPros but theyre kind of pricey. They appeal to me with their really long battery life. But X_X , help me out I also want a long lasting laptop.
I have a few questions.
1. What are some good reliable brands out there for laptops?
2. Is 7200 rpm D's THAT much faster than 5400 rpm HD's? do they heat up your system more?
3. Do laptops last as long as desktops?
4. If my battery on the laptop starts losing its charge time after a while, can I just replace battries to completely transform it like new?
5. What do I need to look for, for what I want my computer to do FOR me?
I hope this is even the right place for this? ? ? Thank you
