For all the years I've been working on computers, I never owned a laptop. I've always just built my own PC with the specs I needed, it was significantly cheaper at the time and laptops just weren't as powerful but today this just isn't the case anymore. There are laptops out there that outperform my desktop with ease.
My current PC I built in January 2019 with a Z390 motherboard, Intel i5 9600K, 32gb DDR4, NVMe & SSD drives and for the GPU, I'm using a Nvidia GTX 1060 6gb SSC which is getting a little long in the tooth, I can't edit 4k video, it maxes out the GPU haha. I also use a 27" 1440p IPS color calibrated display.
But I mainly built my computer for photo/video editing and it generally has been sufficient for most of my needs, I don't play games on it usually. I don't do as much with photography and video these days, not as often as I did anyways and I'm struggling if I want to put more money into my computer now..like an RTX 3060 12gb just to edit video that I haven't been able to do efficiently in hopes that it might get me back into making videos again or to change it up and make it more simple with just having a laptop instead.
The only thing that interests me with a laptop is the portability allowing me to use my computer elsewhere besides in the same room, I can work on things anywhere.
Just thinking out loud, what do you use?
