![]() ![]() Many years ago I would buy mini-towers and I did have to travel. I would rather go the refurbished route then trying to make do with something barely adequate. I believe newegg has some good refurbished laptops in 500-600 dollar range. If I do see a problem that needs more attention then I shut everything down to be sure I am seeing the right numbers. All kinds of research web pages open etc. Mostly under 10 percent and I have dozens of things running all the time because just part of the development cycle. I start to worry if my CPU ever goes over 15 percent which it almost never does. The i7 2600 is considered mid range these days but if I was out depending on my computer to do video shows in front of an audience there is no doubt I would have the best equipment for doing that and not be fumbling around with it. I still do need a new GPU though which a good one can be had for about 200 dollars or less if shopping around. I can plug and play with the things I need. So bought a 300 dollar perfectly clean i7 2600 tower computer that can handle most anything. ![]() I don't use laptops as they cost more and cost more to fix and can't swap stuff in and out and I don't need to be mobile. I have no endless supply of money these days so I took the best way out for me to find good replacements. I have gone thru 2 computers and a hard drive failure in last 6 months. ![]()
