Answer 1

Xhepton most desktop program develoepement, maybe 2D games. I'm just getting into programming but I want a laptop that will hold up whem I get more involved and experienced. just curious what people used.

Answer 2

Yeah I built my own desktop as well, it's plenty powerful and is where I do all my gaming. So I know what parts are good. I'm just not familiar with how much of a load programming puts on a PC. I dont want to waist money on an over kill laptop when all I will pretty much be doing is is programming and searching the web.

Answer 3
