Starting school as an old fart - Need a laptop!
I've been out of the game for ages and don't know... anything about new tech.
The base requirements for my computer are at the bottom of this post.
I plan on going much larger than the base for the main SSD and RAM (32GB)
15" would be on the list as I want a full num pad integrated with the keyboard.
I have a $1000 grant towards it, and have no issue shelling out some extra to get something that will be solid for a few years.
Purchase date plans are for cyber weekend, if my funding comes through in time.
What are decent brands / purchase locations to pick something up these days? The last time I did a built it was a a Q6600 and I grabbed everything from NCIX, so you can imagine I'm a tad rusty.
Thanks for any input!
