Thank you for watching & your feedback. That is how I aim to be in life. I would change "humility" to factual/realness because e.g. if I say I can not afford the Alienware then this is just a fact. I just had an encounter the other day which attests to anything but humble, so have to note it for factual correctness. I am more of a quiet version of brash than anything else. :D
@@PROcNATION I understand, I am a quiet person myself. You did not pretend to understand all the intricacies of all the specs and component combinations and you shared that as well. Humility is a positive trait/force in my books, so it was meant to be a compliment. I am thinking to go with acer nitro 5, their current flagship of their gaming laptop lineup, it will be my most expensive pc to date, I struggle to justify the expense, I may go for a lower spec nitro 5 and save myself £500. I need a capable machine for my daw, video editing and photo editing work which I plan to delve into. I want to avoid frustration with pc freezing and crashing so this time I aim for a "slight" overkill and hopefully will last many years. It will be a steep learning curve for me though.
@@1000BrokenKeys I can tell you this - this expense was not throughly planned but since time is our most valuable asset, none of the fiscal ramifications overweigh the time save I have gotten out of my new laptop. Simple example: on my old Alienware Vegas 16.0 Pro which I use for editing always started freezing when I loaded GoPro Hero 8 Black 4K files into the project. If the project went longer duration wise (pure minutes of the end project) then at worst times I had to wait 20-25 minutes for the project to load up if the video was longer than 15 minutes. Every time I alt+tabbed and then went back into Vegas, I had to wait 2-3 minutes with Vegas frozen on the screen until it loaded up again and I could continue editing. That was 2-3 minutes of just having the frozen Vegas on my screen w/o touching the computer since that would have meant resetting the waiting time. With the new spec, I have none of that. Vegas still loads about a minute when opening up longer projects and it freezes for about 5 seconds when alt+tabbing back but BOY, AM I GLAD I made this expense. Figuratively "life altering" - I am just saving HOURS on my edits. Other than that, there is not that much of a difference to me but then again, I spend a crap ton of time making YT videos (for fun, really). This performance boost was definitely overdue. I must have lost a day or two in productive time last year just by waiting after Vegas to load. I made getting this channel to 1000 subs my goal and that is the reason I am wasting all this time on making useless videos that never benefit me in any (fiscal) way. If you gotta be dumb, you gotta be tough: ruclips.net/user/JJsAutomotivevideos So, if editing is something you do then by all means - the performance gain can be worth every single penny... Unless you edit TikTok vids in 720p then it might not make that much of a difference. :D
@@PROcNATION thanks. On my current very low specced old laptop, doing anything else but browsing the net or writing a document, it freezes or crashes. Even browsing the net gets problematic, as I like to have many tabs open to compare suff when doing my research. Something happened a few years back, when every tab and window is now run as another aplication (aparently for security reasons, but I dont know much about that) and stresses my cpu and memmory beyond their limits. So even when I try to learn a new skill on this laptop, I am not sure if I am doing something wrong or if it just froze, so it is double the frustration. So my new laptop machine has to have plenty of power, so I can focus on learning and productivity instead of waiting and waiting. So I hear you and could not agree more, time is more precious than the fiscal loss. May your investment in the right technology achieve your goals.
such an honest review of your purchase process, research and humility when you talk about yourself. And congrats on your purchase.
