So I've decided that I should have a laptop once again, as both a backup machine and a way to enable myself to change my working environment from time to time. With a robust laptop that should in theory be able to do everything my current machine can do, it should make it easier to do whatever I need to do no matter where I am, at least that's the idea.
For general operations I'll probably have it be for a few tasks I currently use my main machine for but in the event I ever need it it will be nice to have a second machine to keep making progress.
More info when it arrives. :)
