Thinking of buying a laptop, need sugestions
Posted: Thu Dec 20, 2012 5:07 pm
I have never had or used a laptop computer before because I never needed one before. I have two I-Pads for me and Natasha so don't jump your guns and say that's what I should get.
I had mentioned that Natasha's company that she worked for went belly up a few months ago. Anyway, she is just starting to work with her old boss again. He is starting his own company and asked Natasha to do some consulting work. It won't be full time yet since he is just getting started, but I feel that the work will become full time soon.
I just thought I would buy her a laptop computer that would just as fast as the desktop she has now that I put together.
Well let's just say that I built her a awesome computer a couple of years ago that she is finally starting to appreciate. The cpu is one of those I7 980X things with 16 gigs of memory I think and massive amounts of cooling because I used it for F@H.
So my question is: Should I wait til next year for a laptop when the new Intel cpus come out or really it won't make a difference. She needs something that can handle visual studios without a hiccup.
Edit: What I am looking for is a 17 inch screen, ssd's, the fastest processor, lot's of memory and that thunderbolt or whatever it's called these days.
