My desktop is almost perfect for my business needs, except that it is getting older, and I need 4 monitors instead of 1 and it's not mobile.
Problem 1:
I travel a lot most of the year.
That isn't my complete problem. When I travel, I bring my surface pro 6 with me, which has a small screen and not enough memory to run my applications to run my business.
I like my desktop because it lets me run 3 monitors, my older Bose surround sound (optical connection), and all the other things at my office. However, I need to have 4, but when I connected a splitter to my current system, my computer went into a system repair loop.
I figure I didn't have the power to run the 4th monitor I bought ( HP FHD IPS Monitor - 32 Inch) - still looking for a solution for this- but if I replace the desktop with a laptop, I will find a different solution.
Ideally, I would like to set up a docking station at my office, where I can plug a laptop into it and have it perform like my desktop or better, while at the same time, bring with me on my travels and use.
Problem 2: I can't find a laptop that has all the specs I want.
Problem 3: I can't find a docking station that has all the hookups I want
My Desktop Specs:
1 TB SSD, 12 G RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 video
Hewlett-Packard 700-230qe
Circuit board:
Board: Hewlett-Packard 2AF3 1.0
Bus Clock: 100 megahertz
Processor:
3.40 gigahertz Intel Core i7-4770
256 kilobyte primary memory cache
1024 kilobyte secondary memory cache
8192 kilobyte tertiary memory cache
64-bit ready
Multi-core (4 total)
Hyper-threaded (8 total)
Monitors:
HP FHD IPS Monitor - 32 Inch - HDMI
ViewSonic - DVI/VGA
Samsung - HDMI
Samsung - VGA
Conclusion: my overall goal is to have a laptop that I can use when I travel. I usually travel in an RV, so I would have 2 or 3 monitors with me in the RV as well, but I am not going to disassemble my entire office, so I will have them mounted in the RV where I can just hook them up to my laptop. I have that figured out already.
What I need to figure out is what laptop to use and what docking setup to use in my office and how to set it up where I can get all my monitors and my Bose surround sound to work.
Any ideas, would be welcome.
