Title: Laptop Suggestions
Post by: SPC B. Campbell on December 20, 2022, 09:04:34 AM

Hello,

I am hoping to rejoin in the near future, haven't been able to because of IRL things. Due to the nature of my work in IRL I need to have a laptop, I'm wondering if anyone has any good suggestions that won't entirely clean out my bank account :p.

Best,
B. Campbell

It has been over 5 years since I did this, but I got a laptop through iBuyPower during some holiday sales. I was able to customize it for what I needed. It lasted me through two deployments and I was playing games on it until about a year ago. Not sure if iBuyPower is still a good choice, but you can check that out.

I use an ASUS F17 (https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-tuf-gaming-17-3-fhd-gaming-laptop-amd-ryzen-5-4600h-8gb-memory-512gb-ssd-bonfire-black/6523152.p?skuId=6523152). I upgraded the RAM and added an additional 4TB external HD, but it does great.
