Well. Star Citizen is a heavy game. What is your Budget? Unless its like 1600-2000 I would just suggest building your own. Most laptops you are going to buy probably aren't going to run star citizen worth a shit. You can built a beast for under $1500

The other factor holding off on building a desktop : SC might very well go 12+ months before release.

I love chromebooks, personally, but I'm pretty content with my software and storage all being cloud based.

Gaming laptops are always a terrible idea. Start piecing together a decent gaming rig, and get a cheap ass Chromebook or other portable.

I'm all in on the google ecosystem. I have several different drive accounts that I use, though.
I do have an iCloud account as well, but I don't use it for anything except phone backups. All that being said, I don't store large media files or anything of that nature as I pretty much stream all my media as well.

This one lasted a long time. I am impressed, though gaming wasn't exactly doable given the small size of the screen and the small size of the unit itself being prone to overheating.

my current desktop.. 6 core hyperthreading/big overclock/water cooled/2x 970s gets 30 fps on star citizen max settings at 1080p. It will take a very high end laptop to play it~

I'm not going to get a high end lapper.

Stop calling your laptop a lapper. Just buy a budget laptop with decent specs if all you need it for is storing files.

Even then, what are decent specs. I'm incredibly out of the loop. Hence the post.

Why are you against Newegg and Amazon?
Just buy a portable HDD and a cheap laptop. |

I get cashback on a credit card if I order from TigerDirect.

As said, if you really need a laptop, get a budget laptop. It's very easy to assemble your own computer. Plenty of videos to watch on Youtube if you aren't feeling confident. You'll save a ton of cash, and get a lot better gaming desktop.
