Hi All,

I've always had a laptop, which is fine for playing a couple of tables at a time, but beyond that the screen gets cramped or I have to cascade my tables, which I'm not a fan of. I'd also like to start streaming my games, which my current machine struggles with.

I'm looking to upgrade, possibly to a desktop with multiple screens and capable of streaming.

Any recommendations on minimum specs I should be looking for? Please bear in mind, I'm not overly technically minded, so don't bombard me with too much IT jargon haha!

You can connect a separate large monitor to the laptop and follow the instructions. Perhaps this will ease your problem.

It would be wise to connect an additional monitor. This will solve your queries.

My requests were like this:
1) Budget: $ 700- $ 1000 (reluctantly $ 1000- $ 1200)
2) How many monitors do you connect: Two good quality monitors are planned
3) What poker software do you use: Hand2Note, SimplePostflop and so on
4) Do you play computer games, if so, how often, and which ones: Rarely, but sometimes would include something
5) Desired amount of hard disk storage. Here options are possible: either without it at all (for example, the computer will be used only for work and one SSD will be enough). SSD + 1 TB HDD
6) In which city will you buy iron: Omsk, it is generally convenient here: https://pokupki.market.yandex.ru/catalog/kompiuternaia-tekhnika/54425, but maybe you yourself will offer a store
7) Do you need an overclocking processor? I don't understand this, maybe yes
8) Corpus - wishes. (color, just a piece of iron or vice versa.) Doesn't matter
9) Will you buy Windows or install it yourself? Buy
10) Assembled or assembled by yourself. No difference

this computer would be a beast good for all gaming with the new 12gb rtx 3060 graphics card, also if you're not into gaming you could easily mine crypto coins with it thru programs such as better hash and get that 200% crypto deposit on acr, i know its a lil over your budget of 1100. if your looking at the $1100 range my pc is the acer nitro 50 with the nvidia gtx 1060 gb card that earns me $50-70 usd monthly mining coins..

Buy a laptop with a built-in keyboard backlight, it is convenient to type sites at night and in the evening, and if you do not play large-scale games, then you do not need to take with a powerful video card and use it less in work without a power supply, on a battery, otherwise the battery will fail soon ...
