Hi guys, just wanted to put forward an idea and ask a few questions.
Well first of all I am looking for a new PC. I want a desktop setup but also need a laptop for school. I was thinking, what if I just buy a laptop and connect it to my monitors using it as I would a desktop PC when at home? Has anyone had any experience doing this or know if this is a good idea or not?
I won't really be doing much on it, other than IMing, torrents, internet and word processing etc, so I won't really need a super powerful laptop right? I also want to use dual monitors and other hardware (such as mouse, keyboard, webcam etc). This is all possible with most laptops?
Anyway thanks for your time. If you don't understand something, or need me to explain better, just say My English is not perfect.
tl;dr: Is it wise to save money and buy a laptop to use as a replacement for a desktop PC when at home?
