Hi guys. I'd like to buy a new laptop. The reason to do so is the fact that I need to be mobile, traveling from my parent's to my room near my university. Therefore, I think 15,6'' would be ideal.
Why are you upgrading?
I'm upgrading because my old laptop is reaching the end of it's functionality after more than 5 years of using it. I will use it for my studies, so being a historian it should be portable enough to take with me to archives and libraries, which my current system isn't. Besides that, I would like to be able to play R2TW to start modding again, since my current system fails to run it.
What is your budget?
€1000,-
Where do you live?
The Netherlands.
Can you build this computer yourself, or do you need to buy prebuilt?
I need to buy it prebuilt.
