Other half has fallen under the spell of online gaming, and the odd time she raises her head to speak, it’s to moan about her laptop. Which I need to check the specs of, but it’s just some cheap HP thing, a few years old, under 3Ghz most likely, and I’d say probably 2Gb Ram.
So now it’s Christmas coming up…
Can’t really afford an all out gaming machine off the shelf, so I’m thinking 2nd-hand may be a sensible compromise. But I’ve got no idea what is good value. So I’m hoping the combined knowledge of STW can educate me on what I can reasonably expect for say, £200-£300? Maybe even point out some current deals.
Doesn’t have to be a laptop. I’m guessing a Desktop would provide much better bang for buck, and have the advantage of upgradeability. But she likes the laptop and I don’t want to be kicked off the desktop. Which brings me to another thought… Surely in this day and age you can run a desktop PC like a laptop around the house with a few additional components? Kinda like the idea of the Chromecast. Interested in hearing about any ‘mobile’ setups people have. But yeah, Desktop is definitely an option if it provides that much more power.
