I'm looking for a new laptop with certain requirements, as I'm going to be using a DAW (Cubase) along with a sampling library. Most of my work will be on a powerful desktop; I do not need top-end laptop capability-- but I'd like to be able to work on shared projects.
For the laptop I need: i7, 2.7-5.00 ghz cpu, 1T SSD, 16-32G RAM, touchscreen, backlit keyboard. It's actually been difficult to find ALL of these on one laptop without spending $~2500 minimum. There's always one element I can't get, be it the backlit keys, or touch screen, or only 512G SSD. I need it all.
The one that seems perfect....finally.....is an 11th gen i5. So my big questions are: 11th gen vs. 10 gen? i5 vs. i7? Is the difference worth spending much more?
Thanks for any guidance on this.
