I’m looking to purchase a new laptop computer and I am looking for advice from someone who knows what they are talking about. I’m sure a few of you here do. I’ve been waiting a long time for this and it now finally makes sense financial for me to do so. Fortunately for me, now should be a good time to buy with the economy, or so I would think. The problem is I really want to stretch my dollar and still get a reliable top end product and I have just been out of the loop for too long to know what’s good.
I am looking at taking some online courses as well as going into graphics art as a career. In all honesty however most of my time will be spent with the new SCII map editor. I can’t wait; map making has become a real passion of mine. Thank you everyone at TheHelper.net. What a great resource and inspiration this community has been. Because I am looking to pursue a career in graphics design - specifically in the video game industry I will need a high end machine.
Something that can easily multi task too, and I want the ability to hook up an additional monitor, maybe that's standard I don't really know what it takes. I know for a laptop, but I will be at home most of the time; just need something mobile for on the go too. I would like a 17' screen; and actually really wont settle for anything different unless I can get 19' or bigger . The big screen is actually really important to me as I will be doing graphics and hate squinting when I do the details. It has to look nice.
I really don’t want to spend over $2,500; including warranty, but will go the extra mile if it really opens up my market; that is if I can get that much more computer for the dollar. I didn’t go into any specs or specifics here; I’ll leave that to you tech lords out their. I know enough that you can talk to me about it. Just not enough to know what good deals or brands are or where to shop. I have been out of the loop for so long now. One last thing being that it’s a laptop: warranty and reliability are extremely important to me. I won’t get anything under a three year warranty - parts and labor included, however I would really feel safer with a five year plan given the cost involved. Thank you in advance for your time it is greatly appreciated.
