Hi. I'm putting together a gaming/video editing laptop and I am totally not knowing. Please help.
Having never constructed a laptop before I have been recommended the following list.
I have faith that the person who sorted this for me knows what they're talking about from a gaming perspective but I need to know if this will work from an editing, animation and live streaming perspective.
I mostly use Adobe Premiere and After Effects and for the money I'm likely to be spending I want to be sure that there are no surprises.
If anyone can help it'd be great. Cheers:
