Help Me Get Back To Xegaming! (New Computer) - PumaSneaks - 08-21-2017

People of Xaldin (for those who still remember),

 

I've been gone for far too long, and despite thinking that Minecraft cross-play might become possible for servers as well it appears I will need to get a new computer if I have any intention of getting back onto the Xe server.

 

Here is my issue... I'd love to build a PC, but in a practical world I travel too much for work for that to be realistic, so here is my idea (tell me if this is stupid as I am definitely no hardware expert!):

 

I'd like to do a solid gaming laptop with a docking station allowing me to use a large monitor/dual monitors when I'm at home.  Does anyone have suggestions for a setup like this.  I have a solid job so budget really is anywhere $1,000 to $1,400 Smile  Planning to use the computer for Minecraft, RPGs, MMOs, but not too many FPS shooters (not a fan).

 

I'd love to hear the community's feedback on this so I can get back to the server!

 

Much love,

 

Puma

You are at the right time. intel's new IGPU is on par with AMD this coming gen if you want to stay lower than $1,000.00 USD.

 

you shouldnt need a docking station for dual displays unless you want easy speed.
