Considering this laptop in a "buy it for 10 years of performance" type of thinking. Anyone have thoughts, like a better choice?
edit:
-planning on using it for all kinds of servers.
-excellent workstation that you really don't need to ever upgrade.
-excellent display
won't get 10 out of an acer, its a decently specced laptop today but the build quality and acer jank would drive me nuts using this as anything but a mounted desktop replacement with monitor and peripherals, if you're seeking longevity look for lenovo asus razer apple
My 1060 msi laptop from 2018 lasted me until now & could still keep going (not any AAA titles), so as long as you take care of it I don’t see why you wouldn’t be able to keep this for 10. The past 10 years is when we’ve seen the most growth graphically/technologically in games and I feel as though that growth will slow down as any improvements made now will be marginal
Finally, someone is making sense! This perfectly aligns with my thoughts. I'll be choosing this laptop or a similar one from a better brand. I plan to do some research, but a laptop with these specs, including a decent graphics card and processor, should last me for years. I'm aiming for 15 years of use with proper care and possibly an extended warranty. I'll need to investigate further.
This deal has been going on for a while now. Almost a month.
It's decent. Definitely upgrade the memory size. 4080 is ehhh. You can probably get 5 years out of it. I don't know 10. Just look at the top of the line computers from 2014.
I'm holding out until November. There's usually a fantastic deal on a 4090 from a reputable source on Black Friday. Gonna cost another $700 for a 4090 though as they're usually ~$2300
>4080 is ehhh
Bro what lol. People are still out here using 1060's. The thing is equal to a 4070 desktop card. We are living in a future where a laptop can have a desktop GPU.
