Hello All,
I am planning to buy a new computer for design and gaming. Currently, I am using a laptop.Specs Intel I3 3rd generation, 1TB hard disk, two gb graphic cards.Using it for the past four years, and now it is outdated.
So I am thinking of buying an intel i7 processor, 256 SDD hard disk, NVIDIA (I didn't decide on the model yet). Should I customize it, or I buy it from the shelf of Walmartone?What will be better? My uncle works at Walmart, so they get some employee discounts. Anything else should I consider before buying, I am 19 years, and I am earning enough to cover my laptop/desktop expense.
Your suggestions are welcome.
It depends on what graphics you do, I'd avoid laptops, AMD, Xeon processors and high end gaming systems. The i9 with 32 to 64 gb of ram, an 6 to 8 gb NVIDIA graphics card and Samsung SSD in a desktop works well for me.
It all depends on the work environment and use case. If someone does all their computer work at a desk in an office then a traditional desktop tower is usually better than a notebook. In a home environment that's a different story.
I work all day sitting at a computer desk, but still have to do a fair bit of computer use at home for both work and leisure. When I'm at home the very last thing I want is to have my leg chained to another #$%!ing computer desk. Typically a home desktop computer will be isolated in some bedroom or other out of the way place. A portable computer can be placed on a living room coffee table or taken out of the home.
20 years ago I was of the mindset that I would never buy a notebook computer. Now it has been over 20 years since I bought a desktop PC for the home. I've used nothing but notebooks for personal use ever since. Modern notebooks can be configured to be reasonably portable and really powerful at the same time. Meanwhile general purpose graphics applications do not require top of the line gear.
