Welp, got a decent refund this year thanks to babby and marriage, so gonna use some of the extra cash to replace my HP x360 laptop I've had for about 2 years now. The screen has a crack in it so no more touchscreen and it's not the fastest thing in the world, so this time I'm opting for something with a bit more dedicated power...
A used 2017 Razer Blade 14, for $700. Has an i7 7700hq, 16GB of RAM, 256GB NVMe, and a GTX 1060, which will be miles better than the Ryzen 5 2500u and it's Vega 8 APU in the HP. I could've gotten something a bit better for just a little bit more, but I'm not planning on using this for hardcore gaming or anything especially (that's my desktop
), I just wanted something with a decent amount of performance behind it in case I wanted to do some gaming while watching the babby, that's also fairly light and compact so I'm not lugging heavy stuff everywhere.
EDIT: Also ordered some more thermal paste, so I can repaste the CPU and GPU when it shows up
