Laptop is dying...
So I'm thinking of assembling a desktop at some point for fun shit, but could use a replacement laptop. Both running Windows because **** Mac.
Any deals to know about or things hardware wise to look for? I'd greatly appreciate the help. |

Best Buy has great deals on desktop replacement laptops. They have decided to price most out of the market. I've bought my last two laptops there after buying from tigerdirect etc for years.

Not sure if that's the route I wanna go though. Anything with power is too big, and small ones aren't powered or cannot handle the power without overheating.

I've been using a 18 in laptop for about 7 years now. They are not that heavy. Plenty of power and video card capabilities, Depends on how much you want to pay.

Just picked up a Dell XPS 12 XPSU12. It was on sale @ amazon.
Nice little laptop i7 processor, 8 gigs of memory and 256 gig SSD, only 3 pounds. Not a desktop replacement, I don't know about gaming but powerful enough to do most things. |
