Hey guys one of my friend is looking for pc/laptop or both in a max budget of 60k. Please help.
1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'etcetera.')
Ans: Running linux for development softwares - RoR + chrome + firefox + postgresql + phusion(maybe)
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: max 60k
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: No
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Fedora Linux Gnome3 + windows 7
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 128gb ssd MUST HAVE
6. Do you want to buy a monitor? If yes, please mention which screen size and resolution do you want. If you already have a monitor and want to reuse it, again mention the size and resolution of monitor you have.
Ans: yes. 21inch
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: No need of Dedicated GPU.
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: next week
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: done by an assembler
10. Where do you live? Are you buying locally? Are you open to buying stuff from online shops if you don't get locally?
Ans: mumbai. Yes. Maybe
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: My main confusion is that should I go for a good enough desktop which is like 35k + cheap laptop(25k) or should i go for a decent laptop only(55k) The confusion is that only a decent laptop doesn't have much power and ssd makes up for the entire cost. In case of desktop + laptop the only thing will be my work will be divided into 2 machines and I do not know how much that affects my productivity. I am really fine with AMD processors
