Hey everyone, just posting here to get some feedback on a laptop I'm thinking of getting.
I ordered a desktop from here a good few years ago and it's still going strong, very pleased with it, but I find I'm traveling around for work a lot these days, so I kind of want something to play while I'm away from home. I don't think I need anything too powerful, primarily something for playing stuff like Civilization and various modded Skyrim/Fallout runs.
One of my larger concerns is memory, since I tend to download a lot of videos, games and other assorted bits, so having the space for that and to minimise its impact on performance is pretty important to me.
I've got a very preliminary build below, but I'm still very much a novice, so any advice and feedback is appreciated! I'd say I'd be reluctant to go above 1500, but if people feel strongly that it could be vastly improved by it think I could go a few hundred more expensive.
