Today I watched an interesting video on the new 'Shadow' technology. For £30 quid a month you can rent a 8 core 12gb ram 1080 virtiual pc and connect to it using a dumb client with next to no lag (supposedly) I think you guys should check it out, the concept has been around for some time with Citrix or other virtualisation software however they are specifically targeting the gaming market and promoting no lag... is this the death of the pc? https://shadow.tech/int

Yeah screen is important for colour grading but I don't tend to do a great deal of that and could do it on the pc. I like the xps for its small form factor and general subtlety, but would feel like I'm missing out with performance. Hmm thanks for your assistance though. Been helpful with a different perspective, eliminating my bias from the mix

So between the two dells which would be the preferred, xps has lower spec i5. (I know still quad core but only quad thread where as i7 is quad core, oct thread) Inspiron has crappy tn screen but better overall specs which I'm drawn to. If I'm spending the money I want to make the right choice. Any other players you would add to the mix

Some good info in here. Will definitely look up the Lenovo range. Out of my selection which would you go for. Obvusoiyl not the hp.

The Lenovo has a m chip, I was looking for a GTX 1050/60 but thanks

Right so here is another "what laptop do I get" I have a fairly beefy pc that I use for video editing (premier pro) and gaming. Which is fine when Im at home but when I'm in the studio or on a train it would be good to have a portable device to continue my work (currently have a microsoft surface that I RDP into my home pc) Anyway my budget is £1500 here is my short list of devices that I have flipped back and forth between. All have negatives but then equally all have positives. Any help would be... helpful. And let me know if there are any other suggestions. I would prefer to be understated and less shouty can't always get what you want. Oh and apple is not an option.
