Very light. Small 2D or 3D games, html5, that sort of thing. I'm a game developer and I like to make little things on the go. Any good recommendations? I like the Dell XPS 13 suggestion from @Pendragon. Forgive me, I have little experience with laptops. All I know is that mine is mostly plastic and it flexes too much, many of the screws just fell out over time and it's just not very sturdy overall .

If I were to get a laptop, I feel that 4K is not too noticeable of a difference and drains a lot of battery too. @legacy99 Thanks for the input, I'll look into that case . @ProdigyzMined I am aware of this. Which decision out of the ones I posted would you choose in my situation? @TubsAlwaysWins Yeah, I've considered waiting, but I need a new computer within the next half month or so. Right now I'm leaning more for the desktop/server/laptop option, I was thinking maybe $1,000 for the desktop, and the rest for the server (if I go with that, not something like Sync), peripherals and perhaps a new laptop. It might be stretching the money a bit, but are there any good mid-range laptops you or anyone would recommend for school use, web browsing and maybe a little light gaming? I would want something with good built quality as my current laptop is made mostly from plastic and is held together by a few screws, glue and tape. I guess my backpack was too much for it .

Hello all, I'm new here! . I think this is the right place to post this... right? I saved up some money to buy a new computer. I thought I had it all figured out, but I'm not sure anymore. Here are the things that are important to me in a computer. - Portability (VERY IMPORTANT ) - Pretty Good display, accurate colors too. - Good Processing power and GPU - Preferably touchscreen - High resolution but not 4K. I'm fine with 1080p or "3K" - Easily supports multiple monitors (including laptop screen included as one monitor) (2 is ok, 3 would be nice) - Numpad keys I'm not a big gamer though I like to play a bit here or there. Fancy ultra-realistic graphics aren't too important to me either. I need a pretty powerful system to handle my video editing projects, including compositing and rendering 3D stuff from scratch. I take the laptop I have right now everywhere (school, trips, etc), and I don't like the idea of having one computer tethered to the same place all the time. I usually don't do any power demanding things on my laptop unless it's plugged in and connected to another monitor though. I was going for a Dell XPS 15, but a touchscreen that has to be 4K is a downer for me and the GPU isn't that great. Then I went for the New Razer Blade 14. It had pretty much everything I wanted. However, I talked with other people and came up with a different solution: a custom built "gaming" desktop (or a workstation, whatever you call them) and a lower end laptop (I could buy a new one or maybe try to fix up the one I currently have, which is on the verge of falling apart) as well as a way to sync files between them easily via a server or something like Resilio Sync. I do have an older desktop computer with nothing to do with, maybe I could use that for a server. I'm ok with only a local connection for file syncing, but access from anywhere with internet would be nice too. So, with a budget of 2,000 plus-ish dollars, what do you guys think? Would it be better to get a Blade and just have a good computer with me everywhere or a probably faster computer but in one place, with a weaker machine that can connect with it? I'm torn between the two.
