Oh, hey.
I caved in and realize my iPad isn't cutting it, and my PC isn't something I can carry around lol.

So what laptop should I get?

I'm looking at the fully loaded MacBook Pro 15.4 inch (I need to overcompensate) and I'm leaning towards Apple because MacBooks are quite good. However, is there any notable laptop outside of Apple products?

I know no matter what your getting ripped off for what the parts your getting are actually worth, but I don't really care in truth.

I'm all ears. Portable gaming would be nice :)

This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.
One more expensive than your car.

So, like, $200 should do it.

My bad, I forgot you acquired your car playing poker and winning big by betting all those "stocks" you trade.

My old one looks pretty neat when it's sitting next to my rack of knives that now probably collectively outvalue it.
Pretty sure Gatsby has a newer model and likes it.

It would be nice. But that's not why I'm getting a laptop. I have an Xbox and a PC for that :p

Well, I'm going off their hardware, MSI isn't necessarily the best. But maybe I'm wrong in my judgement, I'll look into it

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

MSI has terrible hardware quality

Asus is 4ever reliable.

Hmmm...

Will confirm. I forget sometimes that I had to afro-engineer my DC jack to connect with an external pigtail since the goddamn thing would keep breaking off it's solder and arc shit up.

Mobile cards are shit no matter what you get, so deciding on a graphics card is pointless for laptops. Just make sure it had an i7-4970k since the CPU will do all the work anyways.

Doesn't matter what you planning on doing with the computer really tbh. No matter what it is, mobile cards are terrible and barely make a difference. They end up off loading nearly everything onto the CPU. So just make sure you have a great CPU and 8gB RAM. You'll be golden.

The MacBook I'm looking at has 16gb, and a quad core i7.

Idrc for it tbh.

My PC is for gaming and it's already...something lol.

I got it covered mate

Civ V is a CPU game tho. GPU is just for accelerating image production. Civ V allocates most of its horsepower into running background information and simulating the AI.

Not to say that it doesn't use the GPU, it's just not as necessary in that kind of game.

Dells have recently gone way up in quality and have retained their low price.
I attribute it to a corporate restructure.

But Asus are generally good quality, and  hps are good and cheap.

Quad core is only good for multithreading, which a lot of games/general use applications don't even use. Clockspeed is the only thing you need to pay attention to.

16gB is also unnecessary for general use, 8gB is more than enough.

AI never take much because it hasn't advanced in sophistication since the late 90s.
