hi guys welcome back to the check now are you better off with a desktop pc or
laptop as you expect there's loads of things to consider but the main question
you have to ask yourself is what are you gonna be using it for
if you're a big gamer i would definitely recommend a desktop pc like I've got my
desk connected to this altar why martyr
if I'm is that some people will disagree i don't really get gaming laptops like
this soos back here
the benefit of a gaming laptop or a desktop is portability but pretty much
you'll always have it plugged in to a power hour anyway when playing games so
if you're fine with gaming laptops do let me know in the comments below and
became to hear your thoughts
but in my eyes that difficult to upgrade your report back to life and they're
usually pretty heavy and of course incredibly expensive
you can get more powerful desktop with a scar like I 5a gram
maybe gtx 970 upcoming 1070 and all the other bits and bobs like a smarter
Windows 10 and peripherals for a third less you have enough money left over to
get something cheap laptop or maybe an ipad mini desktop PCs are much more
future proof since we can be easily upgraded most laptops like these are
limited to changing maybe the hard drive around the house but more substantial
upgrades are very difficult if not impossible
desktop PCs on the other hand are really easy to give a quick upgrade by slotting
in more ram or new graphics card or just completely overhauling it with a new
motherboard processor and power supply can be a little bit daunting for some
but all those are great guys out there
it's good to know you do have the option to upgrade in a few years it starts to
get that slow but that stops as we know that these big and bulky tower pc thats
it on your desk
I'm really the only option Intel's next unit of computing or not the pieces are
incredibly small and compact and surprisingly powerful and pretty cheap
too
there was called babos computers because you have to add your own ram storage and
windows but you can buy a sky like I five milk for around 350 pounds of three
some five dollars and all then after you do add those extras and we're a 550
pounds or six hundred dollars which is very reasonable for a good spec little
pc that you can easily put in your backpack and take to the office now
let's say your graphic designer video racer or creative sort perhaps like a
youtuber
I think a macbook pro me at dell XPS 13 or 15 inch laptop with the latest
i7 processors eight or 16 gigabytes of ram and a nice IPS screen for color
accuracy is your best bet you can work on the train using bed taking meetings
and if you need extra screen real estate
you can always hook it up to an external monitor of course laptops like the
macbook pro don't come cheap it so if you know a thousand pounds 200 pounds
a lot of money but mid-range laptops do exist but for our five or six hundred
there are some great options like the suit example ux305 how about if your 3d
artist or professional filmmaker require a lot more processing power for
rendering well you're gonna want an i7 processor may be one of the Intel's
hexoren optical processes and videos quadro graphics cards or transfer kudos
to you one of those and round lots around me up to 32 gigabytes will be
useful for certain memory intensive tasks so this will be really suited to a
desktop pc which you can easily upgrade or perhaps a mac pro if you're invested
in the apple ecosystem
having said that my brother who is a cad designer uses this dell precision of 5
10 laptop which works great for him it's pretty much the same size as the dell
XPS 15 infinity edge bezel and all that has all the power he needs to run
autodesk software solidworks and other 3d programs
it's also pretty high and stuff but what if you say just a student or maybe he's
gonna wear a watch netflix browse the web use office apps
nothing too intense or maybe a hybrid device like a surface pro will be a good
option although again that's pretty expensive
lenovo yoga laptops are good for getting some work done with the adjustable
screen also makes it great for watching stuff as well but these hybrids are two
ones tend to be a little bit less powerful except perhaps for the higher
end surface pro 4 models for example but the rest you know that better for
content consumption while in creation so again it depends what you're planning on
using it for
but many of them are reasonably priced take the ipad pro for example you can
get there are 450 pounds and offers a much nicer screen and generally better
user experience than any similarly priced laptop
although of course you are then restricted by 0 is iOS software and then
mobile apps
the 14 TV browsing the web and maybe doing a little bit of office work a
tablet or hybrid would be a good option if you're all about practicality or you
want something good and professional for the office lenovo thinkpad laptop will
be best suited
they don't look the nicest in my opinion but they are alive
reasonably priced and powerful enough to do anything you need at the office
if you're really on a budget Chromebook like the suits Chromebook flip or
toshiba crumble - all good options that alter portable and great for web
browsing and office work but we do around Google's Chrome OS which is
almost entirely cloud-based so for gaming or offline apps they're not the
most suitable if you're thinking of buying a desktop you do of course have
to consider all the extras like a monitor and martyrs cost anything from a
hundred to a thousand pounds but decent 24 inch full HD monitor should do you
see you back
you know 150 pounds maybe two hundred dollars and you don't have the most
powerful pc the full HD display the best resolution as well since it won't make a
huge impact on game frame rates
it's also a good size monitor as an external or second display if you do
just have a laptop and you want to hdmi displayport out to get some extra screen
real estate
so this has just been a little guy to help you choose which kind of computer
you should buy most of the time though it will come down to your budget and of
course what you plan to use it for but if you have any questions feel free to
