Alright, I don't really NEED a new computer, but I'm moving to Vegas in 2 months so I want a new one for my office.
I'm a little unsure as to whether I want a laptop or desktop though. I already have a laptop (that sucks, no battery, AC power is retarded and takes like 5 minutes to set up everytime I move it) that is decent (like 3 years old) but it's kinda slow when 8 tabling with PT/PA.
I already own a 2001FP. If I get another laptop, I've got my 2nd monitor already. If I get a desktop, I've gotta buy 1/2 more 2001FP / the new, bigger dell LCDs.
Money isn't much of an object, but I obviously want the cheapest route possible. I'm not building it myself, so don't even go there.
What's my best option each way? I want a P4 or laptop equivalent, 1GB RAM, TV Tuner (if I get a desktop), video card I'm not to picky on (something that will work with the tuner, HD isn't too much of a concern as I have a 250 gig external, dual layer dvd burner, etc. Basically the standard stuff with a TV tuner added if I get a desktop (because I'll probably get a 3rd monitor and it'd be nice to be able to watch TV on it.
What are my options/cost for both a desktop and laptop to meet my needs. Thanks for any help.
