Technical Issues with Laptop :(
9 years ago
Hey lovely critters,
A few of you may already know from joining me on my last stream, but my laptop had been bluescreening, crashing, and having hardware problems combined with windows errors.
I've exhausted nearly all my options with trouble shooting, reformatting and all. My only option left is to save up for a new laptop, however with this being my art, work and gaming machine I am looking at prices/models $1,500 and up with specs already in mind.
I am not 100% sure how these technical issues will effect commissions, if at all.
Unfortunately streaming and recording is near impossible as I get memory leaks etc. and the laptop crashes itself every 10-90mins.
Currently checking FA through my mobile, if my commissions are seriously effected by these issues until I can save up enough for an new laptop, I may be open for traditional artwork only.
Traditional art may include: Acrylic Painting, graphite, colour pencils, or ballpoint pen.
I have no issues with shipping traditional artwork to your home if you wish.
TL;DR
Laptop is crap, bluescreening and all. Only option left is to buy a new one, looking for $1,500+
Don't know how much this will effect commissions, may be offering traditional artwork rather than digital for awhile.

if it's any consolation, I have an Asus g752 with an Intel i7, and gTX 965M GPU, as well as 12GB RAM and a 1TB HDD. it was...about $1600 after tax, and is capable of most anything. So I can recommend getting that after you save up, or any of the Asus ROGs.
or there's also the Razer Blade Stealth, they came out with, they're working on Razer Core, which lets you use a desktop GPU, to give yourself immensely more power. it's..not much more expensive than the Asus I have. though it has an SSD instead of an HDD.
I'm definitely looking for same brand, 990m or better, 12+ gb ram, and at the least 1tb (I pretty much use the whole 1 tb now though)
Although, the Blade Stealth doesn't have a dedicated Graphics Card, it only has built in graphics (a sacrifice for Razer Core when that's operational, presumably)
you can already change the RAM presumably, most any laptop you can. graphics cards are the issue.
