Well, this is my first post here, I hope you guys can help me.
I'm looking into getting a new computer, and I can't decide between a laptop or a desktop. I've been using a god-awful laptop for the last six years. I like to game on it, but I want to be able to run newer games, faster, and on higher settings(Skyrim, Bioshock Infinite, etc.). I've found a desktop here that I like, but would like other opinions on it.
I can't decide between a laptop or a desktop. I would like the portability of a laptop, but I don't really think that I'll be moving it around anytime (except maybe to hook it up to the big screen TV in the living room, when my friends come over. But even then, rarely).
I'd like it to have a decent sized SSD, as everyone says that that's one of the best things you can do for your system. I think I've decided on an i7, unless anyone can tell me that the difference between an i5 & i7, preformance wise, would be minimal.
I think I might prefer a premade system, as I'm afraid that I'd end up messing something up, or breaking it (I have huge hands, and I'm afraid that I'd put too much pressure on a part, or I wouldn't be able to reach into small spaces if necessary). I've look at the Alienware computers, and if I get a laptop, I'll probably get the 14inch here(Alienware laptops seem to be pretty good. Plus, I kinda like the AlienFX software included. I know that that's not a good reason to buy a new computer for, but still, I like it).
I budget now is a bit lower than $1,500 at the moment, but in a few months I'll have enough, but $1,500 should be considered about the max.
Edit: Sorry, guys. I hit the 'best solution' button by accident.
