Hey guys, hope you are well.
Well generally I don't know much about notebook hardware at all. I have seen that intel have brought over the i5 and i7 architecture to the notebook market know but am unsure how these compare to amd counterparts. Are there any sites where they compare notebook hardware or the notebooks them selves? like hardware canucks/guru3d etc. for laptops?
But anyway my question is the following; What is the best high-end mainstream parts to be looking for in a laptop right now? By this i mean, when spending a decent amount of cash, what are the best components to be looking at for a decent amount of lastability. My friend wants to spend about $3000 AUD on a laptop and wants to get the "best everything" so it will last a long time and be good in all areas, i already told him the best bet is to stick mainstream because otherwise he is going to waste money on higher clock speeds and extra ram that wont translate to significant performance increases. So what should he be looking at? would an i7 with mid range clocks, 4gb ddr3, some GT1xx series graphics be his best bet? or is their much wiser choices?
Any help appreciated, thanks.
