I live in the US
I'm comfortable with anything 15 inches or larger so size is not the biggest factor
I have never owned a monitor with better than 1080P and 75hz refresh rate so I don't really know what I am missing with higher refresh rates and 4k. Would I really notice the difference and is it worth the additional power draw form the battery? I also own a (https
/www.amazon.ca/Sony-VPLHW40ES-Cinema-Projector-Panels/dp/B00KZP717K ) projector that I currently use as the main head unit for my old desktop and I would like to be able to hook my laptop to it with HDMI for awesome 150 inch gaming goodness from time to time.
I don't need it to be supper slim. I have a chrome book and tablet for light work and taking notes.
I would prefer something with over 2 hours of battery life as it would allow me to play through a longish flight without worrying about finding a plug and I intend to build a VR gaming backpack for it so playing for a few hours at a time would be great. How much would each step up in CPU and GPU affect batter life?
Upgradabiltiy is important. This laptop will be a gift for getting in to med school so I probably wont have enough money anytime in the next four to six year to replace it outright.
I have two 2Tb externals crammed full of movies and I still need more room. I maintain a vary large media library and will need a good amount of space for games alone. upgrading the laptop myself after the fact is fine so the presence of additional bays is more important than having them filled from the factory.
I've seen computers from PCSPECIALIST in the UK that look like an amazing deal ( https/www.pcspecialist.co.uk/notebooks/octaneIII-17/) but I don't know how taxes would work and if warranties would still apply since they mostly serve the UK. Are there other trust worthy companies like them in the US that focus on performance over style?
