Best bang for a buck – i7/8GB/1TB laptop as a desktop replacement

2 points| gesman | 11 years ago | reply

I want to get laptop and set it as my dying desktop replacement.

I'm in Canada. Specs are:

Intel i7 + 8GB RAM + 1TB hard drive.

I don't care how bulky, heavy, ugly looking or how miserable the battery life of it is.

What's the best bang for the buck for that scenario?

Go for 16GB RAM + SSD. You'll change drive with a harddrive bay and put your 1TB there.

Or buy one with SSD + HDD if you care about storage. Full HD and IPS is a must for me.

PS: It must be able to handle dual digital 1920x1200 monitors. Hence two digital video outputs are required.
