Recommendations on Personal Computer?

Hello fellow Monos,

Title kind of says it all, but I'm in the market for a new laptop and was curious if you guys had any recommendations on solid laptops that you may or not bring to the office.

My current Macbook that I used in college is absolute shite and just wont cut it for much more than watching Netflix or streaming music.

I am mainly looking for a PC (not Mac) that will handle many different windows and streaming sites at once. I'm talking no system slowdown with like 20 different windows open and a gaggle of spreadsheets open as well. Don't care about looks or brand, just something that's gunna get the job done and be reliable.

I know you can easily supe up older laptops but TBH I don't got the time or the patience to deal with that.

Any recommendation helps.

Well laptops at face value seem enticing, however you would be much better off building a computer if you don't need to use it to travel.

If you don't care about looks or brand, build a PC. It will cost you less than the laptop, it will do what you have stated you want it to do, and it takes no time at all.

You can use PC Partpicker to select the parts and they make sure they're compatible. You also won't have to worry about buying a new one ever so often because you can just replace the individual parts.

Also, it seems hard, but if you can color a coloring book, you can build a PC.

 

Agree with Tandem21, however I'm more of a laptop guy than a PC guy. Granted I never custom-built a PC tower before, it would be way more efficient and cost-effective to build your own PC or buy a PC. If you're traveling or just like the fact that PC can be mobile, I recommend shopping around Amazon or Newegg for some decent gaming/fast CPU laptops. There are hundreds of computer/laptop reviewers on Youtube so check them out as well.
