So....I've bought a new gaming laptop, sorry, I mean development laptop  , so that I can run it properly and play when away a week at a time stuck in hotels of an evening...the new toy should arrive on the 18th, it's an MSI GS60 2QE with a Nvidia 970m GPU 
I didn't bother going for 3K / 4K screen, I figured I'd use the difference in the price to purchase a separate 29" super wide monitor for at home later on instead. Who needs more than 1920 x 1080 on a 15" laptop screen anyway!
Roll on the 18th! |
Hopefully any roll out problems tomorrow will have been solved by Thursday as I have the day off for a serious gaming spazz out. Will be playing "open" and seeing how it goes.
The forum has loads of good advice once u get passed all the moaning!
