One thing I’ve learned about computers.
Number one, avoid HP. Lesson number one. Learned that the hard way. My Dell laptops run so much smoother than the HP.
Next – get as MUCH hard drive as you can.
Next – these tend to be conflicting, for some reason – get the BEST laptop you can buy. I can’t count how many times we’ve bought a computer, and it’s been insufficient power.
I suppose the best of both worlds is to buy some gaudy gaming laptop, or one for video work. That way, it’s already set up with max RAM, max processors.
The funny thing is, gaming computers tend to have a little LESS hard drive space than regular computers.
So, Dell, here’s the challenge. Make up a Video editing computer or gaming computer, with as much RAM as the thing can handle ( a terabyte of ram??? I don’t know what the current limit is), and the biggest hard drive it can hold, and as much processing power as you can muster.
Why go so crazy on computer power? Because the average person ends up replacing their laptop every two years. This way, you’ve got more computer than you can outgrow in 24 months. A computer you keep for 48 months is more cost-effective than one you keep for 24.
