I know I had a good feeling about you, last week I told Alexis that I believe you are a great and smart person and this post confirm it one more time.
I wasn't speaking about games, I was speaking about your knowledge, of course, the passion for games it's a bonus, it's wonderful that your soul remains a child, as a famous lyric say "So blessed be the soul that always remains a child".
A lot of people claim that they know something, a few years ago, like 4 or 5, I was at a remote mountain cabin and my laptop broke and I really needed to finish a website for somebody and I asked people from there about a PC or Laptop or something and the best thing I could find was an P3 with like 800 Mhz processor and 372 RAM, and there was me, must do a website on a P3, I had an XP on my stick and DW CS3, I installed XP, removed absolute everything, optimize it to the max, lucky me that the video card drivers were in the XP basic drivers, and I've finished that website on a P3, so it's really about how you config and optimize your computer, even a Athlon X2 with 2 GB RAM will be ok for internet right now if you optimize it well. About brands, yeah, everybody has some favorite brands, like I'm an HP guy, somebody else can be an Dell guy, but all brands has problems, Dell often has problems with drivers and the support team isn't such good, even HP has some problems with overheat, anyway, it's more about luck, you can buy a 300$ Acer that you will use for 5 years without problems and you can buy a 1000$ HP that will have issues after 2 months. About 16 GB RAM, sometimes even the best I7 can't use all those 16GB RAM's, so it's not a rule.
Yeah, that Acer is nice and sometimes you should buy what you like, also the HP has IPS display
About Apple, they are just overpriced I can't say I hate them but for me it's like they don't exist, usually people go more for design, that's why you like Sony and that's why some people like Apple, a funny story about catching eye brands, I remember I had like a fight with a girl, a good friend of mine, like 3 years ago, she was starting college and she needed a laptop and she really liked a Sony Vaio, most because of the design and we were practically fighting with opinions, that Sony Vaio was like 700 euros with I3, 4GB RAM etc... and I proposed her an HP ProBook was like 600 euros, with i5, 4GB RAM and we practically fought with opinions, she was saying look at the design, I was saying, why do you need it? to display it on your wall or to use it in college? and she got mad cause I didn't saw things her way and left, after 30 minutes she called me and told me he ordered the HP
Yeah, that Star Wars edition is really nice, just like you said, to bad that they don't have better builds...
I can't say I had bad luck, I only had problems with those Lenovo's and I can't say that I had problems cause when they broke I received a new one, just needed to copy all work stuff and install all the things again, that was the bigger problem.
One day, when I will pass through Poland I will want to meet you for a cup of coffee, of course if you will have time
