New Laptop

[Maodun_Kross]

All,

 

I am in the market for a new laptop. Think along the lines of a desktop replacement that can play games, watch movies and music mixing/dubbing/recording. I have a solid budget to work with, looking at 8k or so fully setup with all the bells and whistles that go with it. Prefer something that does not require an external box with GPU inside.

 

Any suggestions here would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Check out all the laptops with desktop 980s inside from ASUS, MSI, AORUS...

Man, are they beautiful

Why do you have "contradiction" as your name and profile picture?

Holy Sh!t. 8K? $4000 is more than enough for those needs.

Your requirement falls within like $3k to $4k.

 

$8k is overkill.

Screw laptops, you should be getting this.

8k may sound like a lot, and I am sure that it is. But my wife and I decided that we wanted to make sure we budgeted enough to get everything that he would need for this machine, this will also include any service plans and additional software etc.

 

And yes it says contradiction.

You can get a laptop thats watercooled for that money with a desktop 980 in it.

I don't get why you would want a laptop when you can get a desktop thats much much more powerful than any laptop.

If I where you I would use 2k max on the laptop and get a desktop for 2-4k.

desktop does not work. Limited living space and mobility requirements.

 

I apologize for listing the budget that we had settled on I did not realize that it would be such an issue. My wife and I looked at several high end laptops and decided that we would double the total cost. We wanted to make sure we covered sales tax, multi-year service plans, accessories, additional software etc. etc etc.

 

I realize that 8k is more than enough to cover this, we just wanted to give ourselves enough of a budget to where we would not have to compromise on anything for the purchase

Well you can get a beast of a All in one, just look through linus new videos, but you can make a really small desktop. 

A laptop has a little screen and it will get really hot and not that great of a keyboard so yeah there's that.

We have been talking to my son about some of the things pointed out here. One question that has come up is "up time". Are there issues with a laptop if it is left on for extended periods of time? Unsure why this would be done as it does not make sense to me for a laptop...

 

So what is the downside or issues with leaving a laptop running like you would a typical desktop?

 

Thanks

The hardware will get worn down faster, runs alot hotter, It's not made to run for 6hours+ like you can make a desktop do and the battery will be so bad after a short time. You will have to invest in some kind of stand that can lift the laptop a bit up. The laptop will be louder, your cpu and gpu will not be even close to what you can get in a desktop for the same money. A laptop is a really really bad idea just all around. You can gek full desktop class systems in screens now or you can build a mini-ITX system.

why can't you take a 5820k and a 980ti since the 6700k and the 5820k are the same price?

The tech prices in Singapore are fucked to the core. Skylake Haswell-E is actually more expensive here from local stores.

well if you are only going to game get a 980 ti and 6700k, but if you are going to game and edit get the 5820k and a fury or 980, the fury is better at 1440p and 4k and the 980 is sometimes alittle better than a fury in 1080p.
