Reply To: Best Laptop to store Plex on

Steve,

That’s a pretty open-ended question. You’re just asking me which laptop you should buy? It seems like it just needs to be powerful enough to not slow down your Plex streaming.

I like Asus laptops, but there are plenty of other good brands, too.

I’ll just talk specs now.

– Decent processor. At least i5, recommended i7.

– Lots of RAM. This is probably one of the biggest things that most PC makers fail on. These days, I need at least 16 GB of RAM because I hate it when my apps use up all my RAM and stuff starts slowing down. But for the average user, I still say 8 GB minimum.

– SSD. This is a must. I will never own a computer again that doesn’t have an SSD. The old HDDs are much slower and get even slower over time, and often fail.
