I thought about posting up in Tech, but I think you folks will feel me on this one.
I've always had one all-purpose laptop - games, writing, work, etc. Way back when Sims 3 came out, I upgraded a struggling Toshiba (the power connector was crazy-glued in place, etc) to a nice new Dell.
Fast-forward a lot of years, and a few pretty bad dings and scratches, and I'm back in the market for a laptop. I want something that can run Sims 4 well, and something I want to write on, and something that will survive to Sims 5.
I'm starting to find that these wants might be incompatible. For example, I type dvorak, and hate numpads on laptops when I'm writing. Almost every laptop strong enough to make it on the gaming side of things has a numpad. I'm debating a chromebook or something, reserved for writing, but I don't know a lot of people who love them. I also don't know if two laptops will improve this situation.
Do you game and write on the same laptop? (if you use a laptop)
Is my numpad hatred unreasonable?
Do you have a laptop you love?
