tankalot Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 (edited) As the title says I'm looking for a Laptop for work/play and needs to be able to fit in a backpack / transportable as I could be jumping a plane at a moment's notice.( national and international) I have never been a fan of laptops so they are a little bit out of my area of expertise. What is a good brand? What should I look for? Who should I avoid like a plague? Any help to point me in the right direction is welcomed Edited October 15, 2023 by tankalot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol not sure about laptops but I have built a few desktops with ROG boards and never had an issue with them. Was thinking about them .... would have done an original alienware before Dell bought them... not sure a Dell in a fancy wrapper is quite the same thing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
