So, I want to buy myself a new laptop, however I haven't been paying any attention to the market and I'm basically green about what's out there.
At the moment I have a work laptop with following specs:
Lenovo ThinkPad
Memory: 3,5 GiB
Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-4210M CPU @ 2.60GHz × 4
Graphics: GeForce GT 730M/PCIe/SSE2
OS: 64-bit
Disk: 264,5 GB
I have Win7 and Ubuntu 18.04 on dual boot. It's couple years old. I use Ubuntu for work and Windows for gaming. I mostly play retro, however to my surprise fairly new games, such as The Witcher 3, run fairly well - on the lowest settings, naturally.
I have no idea whether the current machine is relatively good, but my aim is to get myself a new one with at least the same specs. I'm going for a similar setup: Ubuntu for work, Windows 10 for gaming. I'd also love to be able to run Cyberpunk 2077, but would also like to avoid a gaming laptop, as I don't do so much gaming after all, and if I do, it's older stuff anyway.
Can someone please guide me through my buying options? I intend to make use of Black Friday, so
Thanks!
PS: I recently found out that there's such thing as digital license for Win10, but it works just for a single machine, which I'm fine with. Is it possible to install it on a blank (as in: non OS) CPU?
