Title: Laptops (need advice) Post by: MoonIsBlue on January 04, 2018, 02:57:24 AM Hello I'm looking to get a new laptop tomorrow can anyone help? I'm going to use the laptop for:
1. Cryptocurrency trading 2. Storing cryptocurrency 3. Research and information 4. Gaming: Counter strike global offensive :D I have bought this game a long time ago but never could play it because of my computer I currently have. I really want to just play for a little bit, turn on my mic and scream ''lick my balls'' when I kill someone and possibly teabag them ::) I have about €800,- €1500,- to spend on a good laptop. Can someone recommend me a laptop? No Apple, Windows is preferred. A good brand that I can trust and is reliable, something that's fast and I can have a nice experience on. A good video card is very much welcome aswell. What's the best laptop brand in your opinion (besides Apple)? Also can you recommend me an Anti-virus thats really good? I don't mind paying a good amount of money for something that can protect me from keyloggers and other malware/spyware. Thanks!

Put aside the questions of Windows, price, gaming or anything else. A laptop is not intended for 100% CPU load on a long term (i.e. 24 hour) basis. While absolutely true for Bitcoin, it's also true for other Alt-Coins. The quickest way to shorten the life of a laptop is to use it for something it wasn't designed for (i.e Crypto mining). |
