Callum Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Lately I’ve been debating between keeping my current notebook or jumping to something newer. My machine runs fine, but sometimes I feel things slow down and more RAM would be nice, or I eye an OLED screen and wonder how my nighttime routine of watching Netflix will be more enjoyable. I've been looking at new laptops on NotebookCheck reviews and comparing prices on this site to see how price/performance lines up to see if an upgrade is actually worth it, but I'd like your thoughts too. Do you wait for a specific feature jump (new CPU gen, better displays), or just ride your current notebook until it starts choking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meaker Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Either the need to upgrade (running something sucks) or the want to upgrade (new and shiny) have both been reasons for me in the past. Also partly for work since I was representing the shop.

kojack Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 When mine can't run the software I want to run anymore, its time to upgrade. This time however, the reason is for slow hardware failure. It works 90% of the time, but the other 10 it craps the bed.
